Judi Barrett est l'auteure de nombreux livres pour enfants très appréciés. Ses œuvres sont célébrées pour leur approche fantaisiste de l'imagination et de l'humour. Barrett partage également sa passion pour l'art en tant qu'enseignante, inspirant les jeunes esprits par l'expression créative.
À l'heure où la polémique fait rage – faut-il ou non manger les animaux ? –, il est bon de se poser aussi une autre question, plus légère : faut-il les habiller ? La réponse des Barrett est un NON catégorique. Pourquoi ? Regardez plutôt la girafe avec ses sept cravates, le porc-épic avec des trous partout, l'oeuf de la poule coincé dans son pantalon, et vous comprendrez et compatirez !
