書籍簡介

兒童青少年讀物 > 圖畫書

Hazel Brown: a very special vet is a picture and story book for young children. Adults will enjoy reading it to children and older children will enjoy reading it by themselves. The detailed and bright water-colour illustrations bring to life to an endearing story. The character, Hazel James, is an ordinary young girl and aspiring Vet who happens one day to discover a way to fulfill her greatest dream. Hazel’s father is a vet and it is his work that inspires Hazel’s love of animals. When playing with her own dog one day she enters upon a journey and meets a leopard who is in need of help. Hazel uses her knowledge, creativity and quick thinking to help her new friend and many other animals too. The story is gently paced, with humour and a trace of mystery to leave the reader enjoying the space between reality and childhood dreams.

作者簡介

Jupy James

JUPY JAMES (CHU LAI PING) was born and raised in Hong Kong. She studied in Hong Kong and Germany and has spent much of her adult life working in education. Jupy is an accomplished and exhibited artist working in Acrylics, oils and water-colours. Her work runs on themes of portraits, childhood and nature. Jupy’s writing and illustrations have developed from her love of drawing and painting and the book “Hazel Brown a very special vet” was inspired by her first child, Hazel, who was born in 2009. Hazel’s interest in animals and fascination and awe with the role of the vet connected deeply with Jupy and she felt compelled to bring Hazel's wishes to life through a storybook.
