Val Biro

    Val Biro was a children's author, artist, and illustrator whose stories spring from personal experience and expand into imaginative realms. He viewed writing primarily as a means to facilitate his illustrations, though he found the narrative often outpaced his artistic intentions. Each work gestated over several months before being written in a single, intensive day. His distinctive approach blends reality with fancy, offering readers captivating and visually rich narratives.
