"His uncompromising approach to making art, his refusal to back away from his principles and political engagement." The time has never been better to learn more about Tomi Ungerer.
Fuse 8 n’ Kate: Crictor by Tomi Ungerer
Arguably Tomi Ungerer's least weird picture book, we at last tackle the tale of a woman and her beloved reptile.
Fuse 8 n’ Kate: Zeralda’s Ogre by Tomi Ungerer
