About the author

Rachel Bright

97 books196 followers
Rachel is a writer of words, drawer of pictures and champion of silver linings. She exhibits widely, writes tirelessly and frequently creates slightly unhinged characters.

Her written work includes children’s stories and poems, clever advertising copy and lots of other stuff besides. Her illustrative work is a smorgasboard of giant, hand-printed poems, mind-bogglingly detailed gouache illustrations and a cacophony of quirky prints and etchings.

She explores the lovliness of words and the magic of pictures, revelling in a world of jam-eating miniature bears and other made-up animals.

Her work aims to capture a free way of thinking - one which makes you feel anything is possible, a feeling all too easily lost with the end of childhood. When we’re all grown-up, sometimes we just need a little nudge to remember it’s been there all along.

*Rachel has also been an air hostess, a garden designer and a lifeguard. She often runs a really long way and was once invited to the selection of the British ultra running team. She also once won a date with Man of the millennium and has been trying to live it down ever since.

Ich liebe es, wenn sich der Text in Kinderbüchern (mehr oder weniger) reimt😃 hier hat es ganz gut geklappt und witzig war es noch dazu😄
Unsere beiden eigenen Streithörnchen haben sehr gespannt zugehört, was passiert, wenn man nur an sich selber denkt und mir danach glaubhaft versichert, wie wichtig sie teilen jetzt finden (mal sehen, wie lange das anhält😉)

Rachel Bright never disappoints! If I have to be completely honest though, I did enjoy the one about the lion and the mouse a bit more, but this one was tons of fun as well.

Dieses Bilderbuch war fantastisch!
Die Illustrationen waren schön bunt und dynamisch und der Text im Reimformat wunderbar melodisch. Das Thema Teilen wurde auf eine charmante Art und Weise dargestellt und ich bin mir sicher, dass dieses Bilderbuch bei Kindern ab 3 Jahre hervorragend ankommt.

Nedávno pribudla do najroztomilejšej detskej série nová časť, tentokrát o veveričkách, a ja som ju rozhodne nemohla obísť.

Veveričky, čo sa škriepili rozpráva príbeh o dvoch veveričiakoch, ktorí na sklonku jesene našli poslednú šišku. Jeden z nich, Filip, je ten zodpovedný, a tak šišku chce pridať len do svojej veľkej zbierky zásob a ten druhý, Vratko, si zas užíva života a na poslednú chvíľu si uvedomil, že žiadne zásoby nemá, a tak šišku naozaj potrebuje. A tak začína “hon” na poslednu šišku.

Táto časť sa rozhodne stala mojou najobľúbenejšou. Príbeh sa totiž odohráva v mojom najobľúbenejšom období a tie ilustrácie sú …, no páni. Listovala som si ňou hodnú chvíľu a stále mám pocit, že som neobjavila všetky ich krásy. Taktiež si nesie krásne posolstvo, že by sme sa mali so svojimi priateľmi deliť a byť zodpovední a nebyť hamižní. Pri každej novej časti mám pocit, že táto je tá najkrajšia a najlepšia, no stále ma toto duo, autorka Rachel Bright a ilustrátor Jim Field, prekvapia a znovu nadchnú.

Rozhodne odporúčam vlastniť sériu nie len v detskej knihovničke, sú totiž pohladením po duši ilustráciami a každá si obsahovo nesie svoje posolstvo.

This is such a lovely little book, a great one to teach little ones about sharing. I bought this for my niece, who definitely doesn't share, but she's always on the move so wasn't overly interested. I, however, thought it was great! The rhyming kept it flowing nicely. But, what made it for me were the illustrations, they're beautiful!

Lustakas lugu kahest oravast, kes kumbki tahab viimast käbi endale saada. Plusspunktid luulevormi eest - sellist raamatut on mõnus väikesele lapsele lugeda. :)

Un libro muy interesante, llamativo y divertido en el que se explica la importancia de compartir frente a la de competir por algo para los más peques. Las ilustraciones me han gustado mucho.

Először úgy volt, hogy ajándékba fog menni, de aztán előkerült, és a fiamnak annyira tetszett a bohókásan marakodó mókusok rímbe szedett története, hogy maradt. :)
Kicsit kelekótya, dilibogyós, pont, amennyire egy ovisnak kell, de az igényes szép illusztrációk, és a nem kitekert rímek abszolút meghagyják élvezhető kategóriában a felolvasást a felnőttnek is.
Sose bánom, amikor újra előkerül. :)

With its message of sharing and palette of fall colors, I couldn't help but think of Thanksgiving in this story about 2 squirrels who squabble ovwr the last pinecone.

Two squirrels squabble about the last pinecone of the season. Cute pictures and a lovely story.

Tagged under eyebrows of 2019 because every animal has eyebrows, including random birds.

A very sweet book with an important message about the benefits of sharing and choosing friendships over squabbles. The images are lovely and accompany the text well.

This is a funny rhyming story with colorful illustrations. Kids will probably like it. Two squirrels are having problems over a pinecone. Silly and lots of action. Recommended for Grades K-2.

Сирил и Брус са главни герои в новата детска книга на Рейчъл Брайт и Джим Фийлд, но съвсем, ама съвсем не са модели за подражание. Е, поне не в началото. Когато ги срещаме за първи път, Сирил е истински въздухар без грам чувство за отговорност или грижа за бъдещето, а Брус пък е алчен ненаситник, пазещ всичко единствено и само за себе си. Последната шишарка преди настъпването на зимния сезон става повод за небивало съревнование и множество опасности, след които обаче Сирил и Брус ще станат известни като... „Катериците, които се научиха да споделят” (изд. „A&T Publishing”).

Os livros para crianças encerram mensagens especiais que são essenciais ao seu desenvolvimento e à sua integração em grupo.

O livro "Os esquilos que não sabiam partilhar " conta a história de dois esquilos: um que ainda não se tinha preparado para o inverno e outro que armazenava tudo o que podia apenas para ele. Até que os seus caminhos se cruzam em torno de um fruto de casca fina que promete ser difícil de quebrar.

Com o mote de preparar o inverno que se aproxima, este livro ensina às crianças que a essência da partilha deve fazer parte dos nossos dias. Podemos ter mais do que quem nos rodeia e isso não pode dar espaço a egoísmo ou a fecharmo-nos na nossa árvore. Um livro que todos os adultos deveriam ler para passar a mensagem sobre a importância da partilha nas relações. As crianças vão agradecer esta leitura.

This was such a fun story. The book features amazing illustrations by Jim Field. Bright's tale, which has a lovely rhythm and rhyme to it, is just perfectly put together. This is a great story to share with children, to show them the importance of being able to share, and not to be greedy. The writing is just so beautiful as well; just one example would be: "The cool air bit fresh and the mosses grew green. And as autumn edged in and the sky raged red, The sleepiest creatures got ready for bed."
I loved this, and I am sure that younger readers would find much to delight in here. Beautiful, vibrant illustrations, with a fun tale, what more could you ask for?

Ein kleines Eichhörnchen hatte den ganzen Sommer lang Spaß und hat vergessen, seine Vorratsschränke für den Winter aufzufüllen. Da findet er die allerletzte Nuss! Doch er hat Konkurrenz: Ein anderes Hörnchen will auch die letzte Nuss für seine Sammlung. Sie prügeln sich um den Schatz, bis alles schief geht. Und als sie sich zusammen kaputtlachen, gewinnen sie eine wichtige Erkenntnis... Wieder absolut niedlich illustriert und wunderschön gereimt.

Cyril and Bruce are two very determined squirrels who each want the last pinecone in the forest. Driven by greed and an inability to share, the pair chases the pinecone all the way to a waterfall, where they’re almost met with disaster — until they finally learn to work together. With fun rhyming text and gorgeous illustrations
