Review: 'From beginning to end, it exudes timelessness' Cobra.be 'Fred's adventures are unpredictable and disruptively different' Annemarie Terhell, Trouw Author Biography: Pepe Smit was trained as a visual artist at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy and the Sandberg Institute. Her illustrations have appeared in several leading magazines and newspapers, but she has increasingly focused on creating picture books that make young children both laugh and think. Her first, Fred the (Very Demanding) Deer, has become a much-reprinted title and marked the beginning of a successful series.
