JacketFlap tags: Lauren Child, Clarice Bean, Add a tag

I love reading about how artists find their way, and as Child says of her early beginnings "I wasn't the best drawer in the world, hardly child-prodigy standard". She forged ahead and with her own unique voice, has made wonderful, witty characters come to life with delightful, quirky illustration to match their personalities...
