The former Children's Laureate and award winning author illustrator Lauren Child turned her attention to PL Travers Classic in 2018.
“As an illustrator, you have a duty to look at what it is the author is trying to say and be true to their vision. The only thing I felt that I really changed from her description is Mary Poppins herself, because I just couldn’t imagine doing her any other way than as Julie Andrews,” Lauren Child.
"The overall message of the book is about making childhood joyful, Mary Poppins is playing with these children, taking them on wild adventures, and whether you believe it’s magic or that she’s just getting their imagination to work, you’re always left with a slight question as to if it’s true or not true. That’s such a playful quality and a joyful understanding of children and their need to have fun." Lauren Child
