Claudia Schmid’s drawings meet Matt Harvey’s words in this affectionate look at dogs and their humans. Sit! is an entertaining, occasionally surreal, but mostly down to earth celebration of the strange, satisfying relationship between dog and human. Funny, eccentric, poignant, questionable and a bit weird – this book will appeal to all these sorts of people.
Poet, lyricist, dog-walker and columnist, Matt Harvey writes about all sorts of things, performs up and down the country and is often heard on the radio. His books include The Hole in the Sum of My Parts, Where Earwigs Dare, Mindless Body Spineless Mind and The Element in the Room. His musicals include Rumpelstiltskin. His dog, Tess, often sits beside him as he writes. ‘Be the person your dog thinks you are,’ they say. Tess looks at him reproachfully, her eyes full of questions.
Claudia Schmid grew up in a creative household in Basel, Switzerland. She studied Art and Dance in Zürich, London and Java. Whilst living in Zürich she illustrated two children’s books published by Peter Hammer Verlag. For “Schabernack” she received the prestigious Troisdorf price for book illustration. Since 2003 she is based in Totnes, Devon where she on a regular basis exhibits her drawings, paintings and objects. As well as collaborating on books with Matt Harvey she has created a range of greeting cards, notebooks, wrapping paper and tea towels. She is also the creator of Dutzi soft toys made from recycled fabrics.
