Judith Kerr

Judith Kerr was a German-born British author and illustrator, celebrated for her children's books. Best known for "The Tiger Who Came to Tea" and the "Mog" series, Kerr's work has enchanted readers for generations. Born in 1923, she fled Nazi Germany with her family, an experience she later recounted in her semi-autobiographical trilogy starting with "When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit." Her stories blend warmth, imagination, and historical insight.
