Colin Hawkins (1945) was born in Blackpool, England, and won a scholarship to art school at the age of thirteen. He and his wife, Jacqui Hawkins, produced their first children’s book, Witches, in 1981 and over one hundred titles have followed since then.
Although the story is simple, the illustrations in this book are lovely and comforting. I enjoyed reading this book when I was younger, I still have a copy of it.
