Dick Bruna
Hendrik Magdalenus (Dick) Bruna (Utrecht, 23 August 1927 - there, 16 February 2017) was a Dutch graphic designer, draughtsman and writer of children's books. He became world-famous with his children's books about miffy.
Dick Bruna started his career designing book covers. Between 1952 and 1972 he designed around 1800, many of them in the Zwarte Beertjes series, for the thrillers of the Dutch writer Havank.
In 1953 his first children's book appeared, De Appel. In his many children's books miffy is the best-known character; a white rabbit with human traits. The first miffy book appeared in 1955. On holiday on the Dutch coast in Egmond aan Zee, Bruna drew this story for his son, inspired by a rabbit that was regularly seen at the holiday home. The total number of children's books published by Bruna is 124. Well-known main characters are the pig betje big, the boars boris and barbara and the dog snuffy. A newer creation is the koalabje ko. Bruna also designed educational books on reading and arithmetic, colours and geometric shapes. The books are recognizable by their square format. Until 2011 he worked daily in his studio in the city centre of Utrecht.
