Famous Artist Beatrix Potter, born on the 28th of July, 1866, is one of the world’s best-selling and most-loved children’s authors. She wrote and illustrated close to 30 children’s books.
Those books star Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddle-Duck and Benjamin Bunny. Her books have been translated into more than 35 languages and have sold more than 100 million copies! Beatrix Potter…SHE was REALLY an artist!
Come on, let’s go visit Hill Top Farm and meet all of her favorite animals!
“If I have done anything, even a little, to help small children enjoy honest, simple pleasures, I have done a bit of good.”
