Cloud Tea Monkeys by Juan Wijngaard

Cloud Tea Monkeys by Juan Wijngaard

Monkeys come to the rescue of a struggling family in this traditional tale from a Carnegie Medal winner.

"The touching tale of Tashi's relationship with her mother and with a troupe of monkeys is enhanced by Juan Wijngaard's evocative and sumptuous illustrations.. Beautifully produced, the novel is an object to cherish and a tale to remember." (Sunday Times)"

Mal Peet and Elspeth Graham live in Devon, in a house not too far from the sea. Elspeth writes in a room on the ground floor while Mal writes in the attic. Sometimes they meet in the middle to write books like this one. It is Elspeth who finds the seeds the stories grow from. She found the seed for Cloud Tea Monkeys while working on a book about tea. Mal is the author of teenage novels Keeper (9781406303933), Exposure (9781406306491) and Carnegie Medal-winning Tamar (9781406303940).

Though of Dutch origin, Juan Wijngaard was born in Argentina, South America. During the 1970s, he attended The Royal College of Art in London to study illustration.
