Judith Kerr

Step into the warm, magical world of Judith Kerr (1923–2019), the beloved British author and illustrator whose picture books have enchanted children and families for over fifty years. Born in Berlin and forced to flee Nazi Germany as a child — an experience she later recounted in her autobiographical novel When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit — Kerr went on to create some of the most cherished children's books in the English language. Her debut picture book The Tiger Who Came to Tea (1968), in which a large and very hungry tiger arrives at Sophie's door one afternoon, has never been out of print and remains one of the best-loved children's books of all time. Her equally adored Mog the Forgetful Cat series follows the endearing, accident-prone family cat through a series of warm and funny adventures. Timeless, tender, and utterly delightful.
