Bernard Wabers kinderlijke fantasie, aangewakkerd door incomplete filmvoorstellingen, evolueerde tot een levenslange passie voor verhalen vertellen. Nadat hij zijn illustratieve vaardigheden had aangescherpt bij Condé Nast, vond hij zijn ware roeping in het creëren van prentenboeken voor zijn eigen kinderen. Zijn kenmerkende pen-en-inkt- en aquareltechniek bracht personages tot leven die blijvende favorieten zijn geworden in de kinderliteratuur, waarmee hij zijn nalatenschap als geliefde auteur vestigde.
