More About The Product

Juliet David has written many children's stories and Bible activity books. Her other interests include painting, music, and travel to Israel and other Bible lands. This experienced author lives in London with her family. Steve Whitlow, born, bred and still living in Yorkshire, northern England, on the top of a (very) windswept hill, where he lives and works with his wife and young family. Steve followed his natural artistic calling from a very early age. He was first published aged 16, producing fun and adorable characters for greeting cards and then children's publishing. With no formal art training but a huge amount of natural talent, Steve has now been working as a professional artist for more than 20 years. Steve works using traditional techniques. He first brings the story to life by sketching his characters, often working and reworking them until they are in the most natural poses. Then he uses a blend of pastels, watercolours and acrylics to give his characters to life the vibrancy he is known for. 'My kids are my critics,' says Steve. 'The best reaction I can hope for is an exclamation of "Cool, Dad!" from either Sam or Ethan - or both!'
