About this item
Many things happen in the life of a car: it’s built, sold, driven, washed . . . sometimes it even crashes! In this book, preschoolers see all of these events, and in the end learn that an old car can even be recycled to start anew. Each two-page spread focuses on a certain stage in a car’s existence. Susan Steggall’s brightly colored collage art will attract all automobile lovers and invite them in for a fun look at the life of a car.
About the Author
I studied Graphic Design at Bath College of Higher Education before becoming a primary school teacher and teaching infants for several years. I then left work to have my two boys. When they were very young, they became so fascinated with cars, boats and trains that I began making pictures of the vehicles that they loved so much - stitching them onto their bedcovers, printing them onto their walls and eventually, developing ideas for picture books.
All of these books are now illustrated using collages made from many different manufactured and handmade papers - and sometimes other oddments that I find!
In March 2011, I was highly commended by the judges of the Booktrust's Best New Illustrators Award.
