Maisy's Rainbow Dream

Lucy Cousins is one of today's most acclaimed young author-illustrators of children's books. Her unique titles instantly engage babies, toddlers, and preschoolers with their childlike simplicity, bold outlines, and crayon-bright colors. "I draw by heart," she says. "I think of what children would like by going back to my own childlike instincts." And what instincts! The winsome exploits of characters such as Maisy — now featured in more than fifty books — reflect the familiar adventures that young children have every day. "Maisy does things that children all over the world do." Lucy Cousins says. "The way she dresses, the way she acts, are typical of children all over the world." The mother of four young children, Lucy Cousins works from home in Hampshire, England."
