Nicola O. Byrne

    Nicola O’Byrne dessine depuis que ses parents lui ont interdit de regarder la télévision le samedi matin. Ayant grandi à Singapour, entourée des couleurs vives des tropiques, elle n’avait jamais entendu parler de l'illustration comme carrière avant de découvrir le cours à l'Edinburgh College of Art. Elle est titulaire d'un master en gravure du Camberwell College of Art. O’Byrne trouve la plupart de ses idées pour les livres pour enfants lorsqu'elle devrait travailler sur autre chose et fonde tous ses personnages sur des personnes qu'elle connaît, insufflant à son œuvre des personnages auxquels on peut s'identifier et un style visuel unique.

    Where's Home, Daddy Bear?
    • Everything is about to change ... Bear is moving home. Bear and Dad are moving. But as they leave their old home behind and set off on their long drive towards the new, Bear is full of questions... "What if I don't like it there?" she worries, "How will I make new friends?" But Bear's dad reassures her with wise and comforting words and, by the end of their journey from the city to the country, Bear comes to realize: just as long as she is with her dad, she will always be at home. From the creator of Open Very Carefully, Nicola O'Byrne, comes a tender, touching story that voices all the worries a child has about change, and celebrates the loving bond between father and daughter.

    • What would you do if you were settling down for a quiet bedtime story and you realised that a crocodile had fallen into your storybook and was - not to put too fine a point on it - furious? Would you slam that book shut, cram it in the bookshelf for evermore or would you be brave enough to peek? This crocodile has ended up in totally the wrong book, so he proceeds to eat his way out in this picture book of a very grumpy croc trying to escape a storybook that is all wrong for him!

      Bad Cat!
    • Als der kleine Hase sich langweilt, hat der Wolf eine tolle Idee: „Warum denken wir uns nicht eine Geschichte aus!? Denn schließlich bin ich Buchhändler und kenne mich aus.“ Und so lehrt der Wolf den kleinen Hasen, seine Fantasie zu nutzen. Doch während sie sich ein verrücktes Märchen ausdenken, merkt der Hase plötzlich, dass der Wolf offenbar sehr, sehr hungrig ist. Eine schöne und spannende Geschichte darüber, dass es gut ist, seine Fantasie zu benutzen, man die Realität dabei aber nicht ganz aus den Augen verlieren darf.

    • BeschreibungEin kleines Kaninchen will nicht schlafen gehen und überlistet die Dunkelheit. Schwupps ist sie in einer Keksdose eingesperrt. Nun wird es nicht mehr dunkel, und das kleine Kaninchen freut sich. Ab jetzt kann es immer aufbleiben! Die überraschte Dunkelheit versucht, das Kaninchen zu überreden, sie wieder freizulassen, damit die Nachttiere Futter suchen und die Pflanzen sich erholen können. Und sie erinnert das kleine Kaninchen daran, dass es, wenn es nicht mehr dunkel wird, es keine Gutenachtgeschichte mehr vorgelesen bekommt und es auch nie mehr ein leckeres Frühstück gibt. Langsam, ganz langsam begreift das Kaninchen, was die Dunkelheit für sich selbst und alle Lebewesen bedeutet.
