Story behind the story

I've seen many counting books. It was a challenge for me to create a book which has multiple layers. In this book we count from one to ten, but also learn about the process how plants grow and that cooperation helps to achieve great goals which one individual would not have been able to do.

About the illustrator

Monty Lee is an artist living in sunny Australia. Growing up with two artistic parents, there was never a shortage of art supplies or creativity. The old creaking family home was filled with the most extraordinary books, providing an inspiration that set Monty off on her journey as an illustrator. Always eager to embrace the art of imagination you could, and still can, find her reading books or strolling around in art galleries.  Her fascination with children’s picture books has certainly not diminished over the years, with her house now bursting with books from all over the world. When she is not printing or painting, she is illustrating.
