The author introduces:
Jan Brett is a famous illustrator in the United States. Among the 27 million books in the United States, Jan Brett is one of the most famous authors of picture / text childrens books. She was born in 1949 in Massachusetts. Her works are self-made and self drawn, which are very distinctive. She often travels around the world, and most of her works are based on folklore. The best illustration is based on the local customs of northern Europe. Jan Brett is good at rewriting and illustrating legends and stories. Her exquisite painting style like embroidery has won the favor of many collectors. The unique delicate and emotional nature of women, the requirements for nuances, and the bright and gorgeous colors can be felt in the works of Jan Brett, an internationally renowned painter.
Her paintings belong to realism. No matter the characters, animals or background, they are depicted in detail. Jan Brett, who works slowly and carefully, spends a lot of time polishing small details, so he maintains the principle of publishing one book a year. Adding "story details frame" to each drawing is a feature of Jan Bretts work. She calls it "overflow of ideas". Her illustrations have great stage effect: the left and right through pages, the middle is the picture showing the main plot, and the left and right are two small pictures showing the details before and after the main plot. Her illustrations are coherent and can catch the childrens appetite, eager to see what happens next. What distinguishes the main painting from the attached painting is the lace similar to the picture frame. But these lace are not simple decorative patterns, but change according to the plot and background, with folk style flowers, buttons, feathers, embroidery and so on. Her illustrations stand out very well. You and your child can think about a picture for most of the day.
Jan Brett still remembers that hours later, on a quiet rainy day, she forgot her feelings and entered her beautiful picture world. At that moment, she kept trying to draw the imaginary world because she believed it was true. She wanted to convey that feeling to readers.
