Judith Kerr

Judith Kerr was born in Berlin, but her family left Germany in 1933 to escape the rise of the Nazi party and settled in England. She studied at the Central School of Art and later worked as a scriptwriter for the BBC. In 1954, she married the well-known screenwriter Nigel Kneale. She stopped working to dedicate herself to caring for her two children, who inspired her, among other things, to create her first book, "The Tiger Who Came to Tea." The book was published in 1968 and has been in circulation for over 40 years! She has written and illustrated over 20 books. She has been honored with the Order of the British Empire by the Queen of England.
