    Think you know your nursery rhymes? Then think again!

    In this witty reworking of popular nursery rhymes, Little Boy Blue understands it’s OK to cry, Wee Willie Winkie knows kindness and wisdom are more important than how big you are; and what boys (and all children, for that matter) are really made of is magic, moonbeams, hopes, and dreams. With the combination of clever rhymes and charming, humorous illustrations, this remixed nursery rhyme collection is the perfect gift book to read aloud or enjoy alone.
    Jeanne Willis wrote her first book when she was five. After that, there was no turning back. She has since written more than three hundred books and has won several awards, which are arranged in the attic where she works along with her collection of caterpillars, pink-toed tarantula skins, and live locusts. Jeanne Willis lives in London.

    Isabelle Follath is a freelance illustrator living in Zürich, Switzerland, with her husband and daughter. Having worked for advertising agencies, fashion magazines, and book publishers for more than fifteen years, her true passion lies in illustrating children’s books. She uses pen and ink, watercolor, and pencil alongside digital techniques to create her work.
