  • Biografia Di Helen Oxenbury
    Biografia di Helen Oxenbury Nata 1938 nel Suffolk in Inghilterra si è formata frequentando la Ipswich School of Art e la Central School of Arts and Crafts a Londra. E' sia una scrittrice sia un'illustratrice di libri per bambini; si è occupata anche di design facendo degli stage a Colchestere nel 1960 e a Tel-Aviv nel 1961 e lavorando per la televisione inglese. Ha vinto molti premi tra cui: il Kate Greenaway Award della British Library Association (BLA), 1969, per The Quangle-Wangle's Hat, il Baby Book Award di Sainsbury, 1999, per Tickle, il Kurt Maschler Award nel 1999 e il Kate Greenaway Award, BLA, 2000, entrambi per Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, il Boston Globe-Horn Book Picture Book Award nel 2003, for Big Momma Makes the World. ððð " Helen Oxenbury è l'autorità più competente nell'ambito dei libri sui costumi e l'anatomia del piccolo popolo " scrive Tim Wynne-Jones sul Toronto Globe and Mail. Helen è stata una delle prime scrittrici a progettare i 'board books', i piccoli e durevoli libri dalle pagine spesse ideati per i bambini che muovono i primi passi. Nelle storie come Friends, The Car Trip e nella serie dedicata a Tom e Pippo Helen mostra bambini nell'età prescolare che scoprono tante nuove cose e fanno le prime piccole esperienze della vita. Le sue illustrazioni così semplici e piene di umorismo riescono a comunicare più cose di quanto le parole stesse potrebbero. Wynne-Jones dice: "non c'è rotondità o piega di pannolino che lei non abbia amato ritrarre nei suoi luminosi acquerelli riguardanti il mondo della pima infanzia".
