| | Dick Bruna |
 | | Bruna is now one of the most famous creators of children's picture books in the world; he has written and illustrated over one hundred books, which have been translated into some forty languages, won countless awards, and have sold more than eighty million copies. |
 | | Bruna's greatest creation, Miffy, was born in 1955: while on holiday with his family Bruna watched his son playing with his fabric toy bunny, and, recalling too the pet rabbits he had as a boy, penned the first Miffy sketch and poem. |
 | | Bruna has an immediately recognisable colour-scheme, and limits his books' colour to blocks of red, blue, yellow, green and white, never with any shades. |
