Sunday Times Children's Book Of The Week
Lizzie Nonsense by Jan Ormerod
Set in Australia around 1900, this picturebook is notable for Jan Ormerod?s atmospheric landscapes and figure drawings. In crayon, watercolour and gouache, with a skilful and immensely satisfying pencil line, they convey dazzling sunshine, autumnal softness, interiors lit by oil lamps, and faces and bodies that express patience, playfulness, anxiety, hope and, above all, tenderness.
