“The humour, detail, visual games that we love in Leo’s work is in this warm book that celebrates the absurdity of kings, knights and dragons and enters children into the game” Julia Marshall, Publisher Julia Marshall, Publisher
Leo Timmers was born in 1970 in Belgium. At the age of 12 he started to draw comics and later trained in graphic design. He illustrates for magazines and newspapers and has released many successful picture books. He has a large following as one of Belgium’s pre-eminent picture book artists.
Starred review. ...a lilting Suessian singsong, with wonderful,
surprising rhymes, and little readers and their grown-ups will have
a great time combining their voices and giggling through the
proceedings.
*Kirkus Reviews*
Timmers has a marvelous sense of humor in all of his picture books.
This book glows with that humor, as each shadow is cleverly
revealed to be nothing at all. The dialogue between the knights is
delightful...Just the page turns alone in this picture book are a
joy, each reveal is great fun to guess at before turning the
page...Perfect for any knights and dragon fans you might have, this
book is a great read aloud.
*Waking Brain Cells*
“Where Is the Dragon?” is a beautiful, unsolvable riddle about
fear, its manifestations and what it means to try to conquer what
might have no intention of ever causing any harm.
*The New York Times*
Leo Timmers gives the reader so many different concepts to explore:
invitations to experience maths, think about science, predict
outcomes and express feelings. The list goes on...
