Roger Duvoisin makes quite a number of regular appearances on Fishink Blog. You can see more of my posts about him, by typing his name into the search box on the right hand side of my blog. He was such a prolific artist, that every time I seem to think about him, there’s more illustrations to view online, that I’d not seen previously. Here’s a few more book covers…

His animals have such a friendly nature to them.

His books have been translated into many, many languages and they work because his illustrations are easy to understand, wherever you may live.

Great colour schemes.

In case you’ve ever wondered what Daddies do all day…. I hope there was a Mummies book too !

Here’s the man himself hard at work, he must have had a busy and hopefully fulfilling career.

Always a breath of fresh air to see Roger’s work. To me they will never feel 60+ years old !

    Who can tell me the title of his book that depicts a boy named Winkie and his wonderful world?

      Are you thinking of Periwinkle ? Duvoisin wrote a book called this but about a giraffe. Gerald Rose also created Old Winkle and the Seagulls but they are the only ones I know of.
