Maggie Rudy Book order
Maggie Rudy has been crafting mice and their worlds for 25 years, with a unique style that Booklist describes as "squeal-inducing." She constructs three-dimensional characters and scenes, primarily from salvaged materials, then photographs them as miniature stage sets. Her work, starring mice and other woodland creatures, is firmly grounded in the natural world. Rudy aims to spark and sustain children's innate connection with nature through humor, appealing characters, and gorgeous, detailed illustrations. Upon a book's completion, the built scenes travel to be displayed in bookstore windows, becoming a significant attraction for children and parents alike.
