Summary

A lavishly illustrated retrospective in celebration of the 90th birthday of Judith Kerr. Her story begins with the extraordinary events of her early childhood in Berlin, dramatically cut short by the rise of Hitler's Nazi Party in 1933. We see her sketches and work from art school, and her textile designs from her first job. We hear of her life-changing meeting with her future husband, the scriptwriter Nigel Kneale, and her time at the BBC. Judith's career as a children's book writer and illustrator began after she had children, and over 40 years on she is still producing classic picture books.
