Judith Kerr

    14 juni 1923 – 22 mei 2019

    Judith Kerr creëerde blijvende verhalen die een kinderlijk perspectief bieden op complexe historische gebeurtenissen en het dagelijks leven. Haar werk wordt geprezen om zijn vermogen om diepgaande thema's te behandelen met een zachte toets en een authentieke stem. Door haar onderscheidende illustraties en inzichtelijke verhalen verkende ze veerkracht, ontheemding en de blijvende aard van de kindertijd. Kerr's literaire nalatenschap ligt in haar unieke vermogen om lezers van alle leeftijden te bereiken door middel van eerlijkheid en ingetogen emotionele diepgang.

      A lavishly illustrated retrospective in celebration of the 90th birthday of Judith Kerr, author of The Tiger Who Came to Tea and many other iconic books. Her story begins with the extraordinary events of her early childhood in Berlin, dramatically cut short by the rise of Hitler’s Nazi Party in 1933. Judith tells of her family’s struggles with language and money, and what it was like to be a German refugee in London during the war. We see her early attempts at drawing and writing; her sketches and work from art school, and her textile designs from her first job. We hear of her life-changing meeting with her future husband, the scriptwriter Nigel Kneale, and her time at the BBC, first as a reader and then as a scriptwriter herself. Judith’s career as a children’s book writer and illustrator began after she had children, and over forty years on she is still producing classic picture books. She is a rare and wonderful talent and this is a fascinating insight into the person behind the books that have been enjoyed by generations.

      The doorbell rings just as Sophie and her mommy are sitting down to tea. Who could it possibly be? What they certainly don't expect to see at the door is a big furry, stripy tiger! A tiger who drinks all the tea, then goes on to eat all the food in the house and drink all the drinks, even draining the water from the taps so that Sophie cannot have her bath. This reassuring, funny story with a hint of anarchy has delighted children for years since its first publication.
