Iris Apfel

Συγγραφέας: , Sanchez Vegara Isabel Maria Εικονογράφος: , Kristen Barnahart

Growing up in Queens, New York, little Iris was the only child at family events. Her grandmother would open a giant bag of fabric, filled with every colour and pattern, and let her play with fabric scraps. This inspired a lifelong love of fashion.

Famous for her eclectic style, built around oversized glasses, bright colours and bold jewellery, Iris was the subject of an exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art when she was just 84 years young. This inspiring book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the style icon’s life.

Little People, BIG DREAMS is a bestselling series of books and educational games that explore the lives of outstanding people, from designers and artists to scientists and activists. All of them achieved incredible things, yet each began life as a child with a dream.

This empowering series offers inspiring messages to children of all ages, in a range of formats. The board books are told in simple sentences, perfect for reading aloud to babies and toddlers. The hardback versions present expanded stories for beginning readers. Boxed gift sets allow you to collect a selection of the books by theme. Paper dolls, learning cards, matching games and other fun learning tools provide even more ways to make the lives of these role models accessible to children.

H Maria Isabel Sánchez Vegara γεννήθηκε στη Βαρκελώνη και είναι συγγραφέας και creative director. Ήθελε από μικρή να γίνει συγγραφέας αλλά όταν μεγάλωσε κατέληξε στο χώρο της διαφήμισης. Πριν από μερικά χρόνια αποφάσισε να κάνει αυτοέκδοση σε ένα έργο που επεξεργαζόταν πολύ καιρό. Ανοιξε ένα μικρό e-shop και τοποθέτησε μερικά βιβλία σε καταστήματα της γειτονιάς της. Σύντομα, είχε πουλήσει όλα τα αντίτυπά της. Έκτοτε την πλησίασαν αρκετοί εκδοτικοί οίκοι και έτσι η Maria Isabel άρχισε να γράφει πιο εντατικά.

Σήμερα είναι πιο γνωστή ως συγγραφέας μεγάλου μέρους της σειράς μικρά κορίτσια ΜΕ ΜΕΓΑΛΕΣ ΙΔΕΕΣ. Κάθε βιβλίο αναφέρει την ιστορία της παιδικής ηλικίας της εκάστοτε ηρωίδας με έναν διασκεδαστικό, άμεσο τρόπο που επιτρέπει στους μικρούς αναγνώστες να ταυτιστούν με τους χαρακτήρες σε κάθε ιστορία.

Kristen Barnahart

I’m an illustrator and graphic designer based in Dallas, Texas. I graduated in 2018 from UNT with a degree in communication design AKA graphic design. During my junior year of college, I opened an Etsy shop with 1 enamel pin and a few art prints for sale. From there, things just grew! I realized I could make more products and sell them and make money instead of working as a cashier at Target. Around that time my fiancé gifted me a DIY screen printing kit. That was a total game changer! I watched youtube videos and started to figure out how to screenprint at home. It was a very scrappy setup, but it worked! I left Target and Etsy and opened my own online shop. I started selling screen printed shirts that eventually funded even more products for me to list in my shop. During this time, I graduated from college and started freelancing and selling products from my shop full time. Fast forward to now and my online shop is temporarily closed, I’m working full time for an in house agency at a major snack food corporation, and still freelancing!

But if you want some non-work related things about me: I have 2 cats, I’m marrying my BFF soon, I love tv, I HATE OLIVES, and I got 2nd place in a junior fishing rodeo when I was like 11.

 Most of my artwork comes from normal everyday scenarios, pockets of weirdness in life that make me laugh, think, cry, FEEL something. I love incorporating short phrases and writing into my artwork. I used to journal a ton growing up but don’t do it so much anymore. Maybe this art and writing stuff is homage to that. It’s very therapeutic to draw and write something that helps me process a moment or remember a funny thing I saw or heard.

I have absolutely zero creative rituals. I think I’ve spent a lot of my life wishing I was the kind of person that made tea and perfectly set their desk every time they were ready to be creative, but wishing those things and never being that thing makes me feel like shit (sorry am I allowed to curse?? haha) SO – I’ve just accepted who I am! And who I am is someone who draws when I feel like it. I let an idea marinate in my brain until I’m ready to draw it. Or I forget it and wait till the next great idea comes around ha. Paying attention is really what I do. Paying attention inspires me.

It’s really cool! And it’s also weird. I recognize and talk to quite a few people who have followed me on Instagram since the beginning and we’ve formed internet relationships that are really normal for never meeting in real life. That’s what I really like about social media. I thankfully haven’t run into many weirdos or mean people. it’s a very uplifting, educated, creative, funny group of people that are in my corner of the internet. I think that’s why it’s easy for me to post things that might be seen as “vulnerable”. Then I remember my college professor and aunts and uncles and boss follow me. Haha, that will definitely make you think twice about what you’re posting.
