About the Author
Judith Kerr (1923–2019) was a renowned British author and illustrator whose works have enchanted generations of readers with their warmth, wit, and poignant reflections on childhood. Born in Berlin to a Jewish family, she fled Nazi Germany with her parents in 1933, an experience that profoundly shaped her writing. Kerr's debut novel, When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit, draws from her own wartime exile, offering a child's-eye view of historical upheaval with remarkable sensitivity and humor. She is equally celebrated for her beloved picture books, including the timeless classic The Tiger Who Came To Tea, which captures the magic and mischief of everyday family life. Throughout her prolific career, Kerr's stories blend gentle storytelling with subtle insights into resilience and joy, earning her numerous awards and a lasting place in children's literature.
