My father realised that for me to become a publisher in his firm would have been the end of the firm!
From Dick Bruna
Now, I had been drawing all this time - especially in France of course - so, when I came back, my father gave me the chance to do a cover for one of the books he published.
Miffy has changed quite a lot since the early books, although I never realised it at the time.
When I make a book, I make it for the child and not for the parent - no jokes in it for the parents!
I want a nice picture book with 12 pictures - I do my best with that format.
But I don't sit down and think: this is meant for children.
