Kitty Crowther

b. 1970

Kitty Crowther developed a love for books in early childhood, due in part to the fact that she was born with a hearing defect that delayed her speaking until the age of four. Her dossier provides this comment on her work: "Kitty's style speaks for itself. A simple, pure line, a light stroke that creates movement, that traces emotion, that touches the heart. Characters are drawn with a few, clear pen strokes and are revealed subtly. 'I'm fascinated by movement, the line that trembles, that is agitated, hard, soft.'

Catarina Kruusval

Hon ägnar sig helhjärtat åt eget bokskapande och är en av Sveriges mest älskade bilderboksmakare. Catarina har illustrerat över 40 berättelser om Ellen och Olle och andra barn på olika vardagliga äventyr – och även Fia med alla sina leksaksdjur. Böckerna om de här populära bilderboksfigurerna är suveräna högläsningsböcker. Dessutom har Catarina tagit sig an en lång rad kända barnvisor och illustrerat dem i böcker för de allra minsta – en mycket uppskattad bokserie.

Formen är viktig för Catarina, det ska vara tydligt, och hennes bilder, som är tuschteckningar eller akvarell, är ofta detaljrika. Maneret är mjukt, vänligt och sinnligt. Men i berättelserna finns också dramatik – på barnens nivå. Skogen och havet, tryggheten kontra oberoendets ut
