Jez Alborough says, "Bobo and his mommy just had to be chimps—they''ve got the best arms for giving hugs!"
作者:(英国)杰兹阿波罗 译者:上谊编辑部
杰兹阿波罗,1959年出生于英国。在他小时候,一位访客送他的几只铅笔、橡皮和画纸,引起了他对绘画的兴趣。“这份鼓励和感动我从不曾忘记,”杰兹表示,“那位访客是谁我到现在还是不知道,不过我喜欢把他想成是我的守护天使。”
在艺术学院毕业后,他花了两年的时间与无数的其他新兴艺术家竞争,才让出版商发现他能画又能写,然后让他的第一本绘本《Bare Bear》正式出版,到目前为止,他已经创作三十多本书,也获得过许多绘本大奖的肯定。
“有些人是为了自己的孩子写作绘本,我本身没有小孩,我创作绘本是给童年的自己”这句话充分地表达了绘本大师杰兹阿波罗的创作理念。他的韵文写作风格使图书适合大声朗读,他的绘画幽默又色彩丰富,广受孩子们的喜爱,难怪他的泰迪熊系列﹝Where''s My Teddy? It''s The Beer, My Friend Bear﹞能在全世界销售超过百万本。
