Meet Kitten & Friends illustrator Tekla Huszár! Hi, my name is Tekla Huszár, I'm from Hungary. As an artist, I sculpt, paint, and illustrate stories. I have been drawing characters based on Indian tales and legends since I was a child. Harmony, colorful nature, animals, friendship and humor have always captivated me. Not to speak about curious kittens! Illustrating children’s books is my favorite thing to do. Being a mother, I really enjoy reading stories of every kind, immersing myself in the secret realm of a child’s limitless magination. I find great joy in creating the characters for the stories I’m asked to illustrate. Using my imagination to make them appear to others is such a pleasure. This is why I have loved bringing Kitten and all of his friends to life. Getting to know Kitten and all his friends – Butterfly, Squirrel, Monkey and many more – has been so much fun! I know that you, too, will enjoy getting to know Kitten and Friends.
