About the author

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.' This young woman is not interested in reproducing reality. She is concerned much more with reinventing experience. As she searches for meaning and for accuracy, she does not allow herself to be distracted by the gaze of others. 'I am not a fan of drawing only after painstaking sketching. I prefer to draw a gesture or an attitude that I recall from memory. I trust my visual memory. I try to be true to myself. Everything that I put in my books comes from experiences that have touched me profoundly. I try to recreate this special energy as closely as possible because it is beautiful. Restoring things because they are pretty does not have meaning for me. I live what I draw."

Raríssim. Té un to molt especial, com si la narració estigués estroncada, cosa que té força sentit donat el caràcter de la mare. Una mare d'aquelles que sobreprotegeixen i posen nerviós. Molt bruixota ella. I, de cop, canvi sobtat. M'ha molat que el mestre fos home i el "fals final".

un album de Kitty Crowther adorable, sur la relation d'une mère un peu trop protectrice et de sa fille qui veut aller à l'école. C'est mimi, j'ai passé un super moment <3

Utmanande läsning

Mamman håller hårt i sin dotter som inte får leka med de andra barnen. Fantastiskt bildspråk. Mamman klipper sitt hår och tuktar sitt begär att behålla dottern för sig själv.

Joya. Este libro es poesía, es feminismo, es celebración de la maternidad, es arte pictórico, es un mundo en sí mismo con sus propias reglas. Maravilloso. Genia Kitty Crowther, te amo.

Varför var Medusa tvungen att klippa sig på slutet? Jag tyckte den var väldigt fin fram tills dess, och var beredd på att dottern Iris skulle ta av sig sin mössa och visa samma hår som sin mamma, och så kunde de vara läskiga och konstiga tillsammans, men i stället så anpassar sig Medusa efter samhället och blir en kurvig, kortklippt och vanlig mamma. Trist.

Eerder lazen we "Scritch scratch dip clapote !" en dat was een onverwachte geweldige ontdekking vanuit het niets. Dus ik dacht dat ik zeker goed zat met wat dan ook van haar. Maar dit was écht niets voor ons.
