South West Londoner attended a Q&A at Richmond’s bookstore, Books On The Rise, held by Anglo-German children’s illustrator Axel Scheffler, best known for his popular illustrations of The Gruffalo, Stick Man and Zog.
The event, which took place on Thursday 5 June, was organised as part of the borough of Richmond’s ‘Reaffirmation Weekend’, celebrating the renewal of its twinning agreements with Konstanz in Germany and Fontainebleau in France.
The illustrator was joined by his long-time author and collaborator Alison Green, the Scholastic publishing team and members of the refugee charity Three Peas, including his partner, Clementine Koenig, to discuss the new picture book that was created in support of the charity.
South West Londoner spoke to Scheffler and Koenig, who provided insights into the making of the picture book and discussed the work and mission of the Three Peas charity.
