They show us the world from others' perspectives and allow children to experience things far outside their daily lives, including some difficult emotions and thoughts. Anthropomorphised animals in particular can distance us from human issues and make them less frightening. However, at their core, these stories deliver lessons as part of an exciting adventure and more often than not, they make us laugh -- adults and children alike! We hope this collection of animals will ignite your imagination! Tess Crawford is a freelance illustrator living near the dreaming spires of Oxford. After graduating in Graphic Design she worked in publishing for a number of years in the UK on a wide variety of children’s books. Having always loved working with illustrators and helping to bring out the best in any project she decided to follow her dream of becoming an illustrator herself and to be the other side of the brief! Working in her garden ‘Art Shed’ Tess enjoys using a mixture of acrylic paint, collage and photoshop trying to capture the beauty and essence of the natural world she sees from the window and from walks around the countryside and coast. Ryan trained and worked as a teacher for 17 years, living and working in the U.K., U.A.E. and Malaysia. He holds an MA in illustration and now lives back in the U.K. in Oxfordshire with his wife and 3 squawking sons.
