Frederick, Leo
Lionni’s international best-selling children’s classic reprinted after 49
years.
‘Children will appreciate what Frederick teaches his family
in this book – that there is more to life than the basics of food, water, and
shelter.’ says American journalist Mary Dixon Weidler.
Winter is coming, and all the mice are gathering food ...
except for Frederick. The mice are not happy with Frederick who seems to
daydream and doesn’t help them enough. But as it becomes cold, and food gets
scarce, the mice gather together around Frederick, whose stories warm their
hearts and spirits.
An internationally known designer, illustrator and graphic
artist with more than 40 highly acclaimed children’s books to his name, Lionni was
born in Holland and lived in Italy until he moved to the United States in 1939.
He is the recipient of the 1984 American Institute of Graphic Arts Gold Medal
and was honoured posthumously in 2007 with the Society of Illustrators’
Lifetime Achievement Award. He is also a four-time Caldecott Honour Winner for
his books Inch by Inch, Frederick, Swimmy
and Alexander the Wind-Up Mouse. Lionni
died in October 1999 at his home in Tuscany, Italy, at the age of 89.
