Un sombrero muy anticuado

Resumen del libro

Harbet tenía un sombrero. En realidad era un gorro, un gorro un poco anticuado. ¿Debía seguir la última moda en sombreros o simplemente ser él mismo? AUTOR (Brighton, 1972) es una autora e ilustradora de libros infantiles que combinando las técnicas tradicionales con acuarela, collage, y otras, aporta una perspectiva fresca e ingeniosa a la literatura infantil. En el año 2005, Emily Gravett ganó con su primer libro ilustrado, Wolves (Lobas), el premio Kate Greenaway Medal, galardón que volvió a obtener en 2008 con Little Mouse s Big Book of Fears (El gran libro de los miedos del ratoncito)

Biografía del autor

Emily Gravett was born in Brighton, England, the second daughter of a printmaker and an art teacher. She left school at 16 and travelled the UK for eight years, living in a big green bus with her partner and their daughter. After returning to Brighton to take up an art degree, Emily sprang into the limelight with the ground-breaking Wolves in 2005, which won her the Macmillan Prize for Illustration, followed by a book deal and the first of her Kate Greenaway Medals. Wolves was followed by such brilliant modern classics as Orange Pear Apple Bear, Little Mouse's Big Book of Fears, Again! and the exquisite Tidy. Each book is unique and different from the last and each features endearing, beautifully drawn characters that touch the heart and tickle the funny bone. Emily now lives in Brighton with her family. When not working in her studio, she might be found walking the dog, watering the tomatoes or driving the family's restored 1960s bus.
