BIG CAT

A classic narrative picture book about embracing change, from the CBCA award-winning illustrator of Iceberg and Whisper on the Wind.

Big Cat is mysterious. Big Cat is chaotic. Big Cat is lawless. Catherine is not. She likes things to be neat, tidy and orderly. But when the two meet, they discover they have more in common than they think and that sometimes the best adventures can be found in your own backyard. A story about finding your inner wildness in unexpected places, from one of Australia's most exciting picture book creators. Jess Racklyeft works mainly in watercolours and ink and her illustrations often combine collage - either on paper or digitally assembled. Jess worked in publishing sales for almost a decade before making the leap to full-time creator, and has since written and/or illustrated nearly 30 titles and won several illustration accolades including CBCA Picture Book of the Year for Iceberg and another two CBCA Picture Book Notables www.jessesmess.com
