Author Biography

Working as a greetings card illustrator, Lisa Stubbs pressed pause on her career to bring up three wonderful children: Lily, Skyla and Sonny. Lisa's work is inspired by her family life. Lily and Bear began when her daughter, Skyla, drew a picture of lots of little, coloured hearts and said, "This is the colour of my love for you, Mummy." Lisa created a screen print based on this drawing, which you can see on the endpapers to Lily and Bear. Lisa wanted to explore her children's pictures and their child-like way of looking at the world and Lily and Bear was born.

Review

In Lisa Stubbs's Lily and Bear, Lily's drawing of a friendly faced brown bear comes delightfully to life. Lily and Bear play: first Lily's games (tea parties and pirate ships) and then bear's - catching fish and scratching backs on trees. This is a cosy, happy picture book, its screen prints inspired by how children draw: Sunday Times
