Jan Brett

    1 december 1949

    Jan Brett is een van de meest vooraanstaande kinderboekenschrijvers en -illustratoren van het land, met meer dan drieëndertig miljoen gedrukte boeken. Haar werk wordt gedreven door de wens om de meeslepende ervaring na te bootsen van het echt geloven in de imaginaire plaatsen die ze tekent, waarbij ze nauwgezet detailgebruik om deze werelden echt te laten lijken. Geïnspireerd door haar jeugdpassie voor prentenboeken en haar studies aan het Museum of Fine Arts, integreert ze fragmenten van historische kunst in haar creaties. Uitgebreide reizen informeren haar illustraties verder, aangezien ze de architectuur en kostuums van verschillende culturen onderzoekt en verwerkt in haar verhalen.
