Marcia Williams Boeken
Marcia Williams ontwikkelde al vroeg haar kenmerkende stripboekstijl, waarbij ze haar vertelkunst combineerde met humoristische illustraties van literaire figuren en verhalen. Als voormalig kleuterleidster brengt ze klassieke verhalen tot leven met levendige, actievolle boeken, waardoor ze toegankelijk en boeiend worden voor jongere lezers. Williams heeft tot doel lezers mee te nemen naar de rijke werelden van de literatuur, zodat ze het comfort van het vertrouwde en de spanning van het nieuwe kunnen ontdekken. Haar werk slaat een doordachte brug tussen klassieke verhalen en de waardering van hedendaagse kinderen.
