Description

Helen Borten's Copycat, originally published in 1962, returns to print for the first time in decades to delight a new generation of children. Beautiful, warm and vivid, Helen Borten's picture books inspired a generation of children during the 1960s and '70s. In Copycat, Borten displays her distinctive illustration style, using layered prints and etchings to inspire a real sense of the wonders of life on a farm. These expressionistic images are perfectly complimented by clear and lyrical prose to tell a story of what it means to be comfortable in your own skin.
