South African-born Dean Jacques lives in New Zealand. Having retired from the corporate world, he has created this book using the imaginative characters and stories that entertained his children and grandchildren over the years. As little people, they were fascinated and always wanted to hear more.
Dean created these animal characters who experience life as people do (anthropomorphism). Says Dean, ‘while some imagination is required to bring these characters to life and allow them to do things that animals just don’t do in the real world, it’s easy to draw out the imagination of small children – they have so much of it!’
