Kitty Crowther lives and works in Belgium. Born in 1970 to a Swedish mother and an English father, she is the mother of two boys. Since 1994, she has found in working on picture books an outlet for communicating her questions and emotions.
“I’m not trying to make pleasant books, but stories that deeply interest me. And actually, I don’t feel like I’m deciding, it’s the stories that choose me.” Thus, her stories, imbued with mystery and populated by strange beings, lead readers into a world with haunting echoes, where humor and delicacy always emerge alongside immense tenderness. Her work was quickly recognized by critics and has been awarded in Belgium and France, as well as in many other countries: Triennial Grand Prize, Baobab.
Her books have been translated into over twenty languages and she is often invited to give lectures, workshops for young illustrators, and workshops for children all over the world.
www.ftn-books.com has the invitation for her TOOROP book presentation.
