Ewa Kozyra-Pawlak
Jednym z jej pierwszych wspomnień jest graffiti, które z wielką pasją wykonała kredkami świecowymi na ścianie swojego pokoju (korzystając z okazji, chciałaby przeprosić późniejszego właściciela tego lokalu). Bardzo wcześnie, z absolutną powagą, poświęciła się sztukom plastycznym, a szczególnie rzeźbie w plastelinie, haftom i szydełkowaniu. Gdy tylko ukończyła studia na ASP we Wrocławiu, niezwłocznie wróciła do klejenia, szycia i dziergania. Zilustrowała kilkanaście książek dla dzieci, pisze wiersze, kaligrafuje i tłumaczy, a w jej pracowni znajdują się tysiące kolorowych szmatek. Sypia na nich biało-rudy kocur, bohater bajki Ja, Bobik, czyli prawdziwa historia o kocie, który myślał, że jest królem, wyróżnionej przez Polską Sekcję IBBY w kon

Growing up
Buy books on Amazon
I grew up in a tall Victorian London house with my parents, grandmother, aunt, uncle, younger sister Mary and cat Geoffrey (who was really a prince in disguise. Mary and I would argue about which of us would marry him).
Mary and I were always creating imaginary characters and mimicking real ones, and I used to write shows and choreograph ballets for us. A wind-up gramophone wafted out Chopin waltzes.
I studied Drama and French at Bristol University, where I met Malcolm, a guitar-playing medic to whom I’m now married.
Busking and books
Before Malcolm and I had our three sons we used to go busking together and I would write special songs for each country; the best one was in Italian about pasta.
The busking led to a career in singing a -
