Multi-talent J.A.BRO has created, 1967-1969, for her first child, 2 unique, still unpublished books in layered wax-scratch technique, the themes of them are "SCIENCE TODAY Combined With Fantasy". To that time, this kind of modern, educational pedagogic combined with creative fantasy was absolutely new on the international book market and couldn't find a publisher. Her themes of science combined in a fantasy story are like following:
In J.A.BRO'S children book "Day Time AND Dream Time" 1968/69, science is also combined in a fantasy story to describe, step by step, the first moon landing in 1969 with help of a colorful information story about the space station in Houston, USA, the rocket base and its start, the moon landing of the astronauts with help of the lunar module, etc. These two themes of science books for toddler & preschool kids designed by J.A.BRO, were taken over by a publisher in Spring 1969 after J.A.BRO has shown openly, trustfully but unprotected her two, own created children book creations. J.A.BRO'S mentioned ideas & science themes were given by the publisher afterwards to two other artists which created again in their own style J.A.BRO'S themes but without the combination of creative fantasy which is essential and actual for preschool kids to be able to understand, consume, store and remember facts of science.
Nearly one generation later, 1984, a professor for child development, who has written the foreword for J.A.BRO'S first art-photo book "For Children AND Adults" proved her right. New was to that time too, 1967, J.A.BRO'S own created slogan for books "For Children AND Adults". Today, 35 years later, there is still a market niche for these kinds of books because books for children AND books for adults are separately and differently handled by producing, marketing and advertising. |
