DAVID LITCHFIELD first started to draw when he was very young, creating Star Wars and Indiana Jones mash up comics for his older brother and sister. His first picture book with Frances Lincoln Children's Books, The Bear and the Piano, won the Waterstones Children's Book Prize (Illustrated Book Category) and became a best-seller in the UK and US. It was shortlisted for 8 other awards in the UK including the Sheffield Children's Book Award and the Independent Bookshop Week Award, and has sold in over 25 languages. The follow-up, The Bear, the Piano, the Dog and the Fiddle, published in 2018 to universal acclaim. David's other books include Grandad's Secret Giant and Lights on Cotton Rock. David lives in Bedford with his family.
'Litchfield's use of light is unequalled and this is a triumphant
last movement in a great symphony.' -- Sally Morris * The Daily
Mail *
'In the concluding part of the award-winning trilogy, Bear has
retired and his piano lies unused. When his daughter discovers it
in the woods, can Bear be persuaded to make music again?' -- Fiona
Noble * The Bookseller *
"This book, much like good music, will stay in your hearts
forever. It's the perfect accompaniment at this time of year to
snuggle down with a hot chocolate and a blanket and get lost in the
magic and the beauty of the pictures and words. Fantastic as ever
David Litchfield." * Mini Travellers *
