Jan Pieńkowski war ein polnisch-britischer Autor und Illustrator von Kinderbüchern. Sein Werk zeichnet sich durch kräftige Farben und dramatische Formen aus, die Geschichten für junge Leser lebendig werden lassen. Er wurde besonders berühmt für seine Pop-up-Bücher, die aufwendige Mechanismen nutzen, um fesselnde dreidimensionale Szenen zu schaffen. Pieńkowskis Illustrationsstil verbindet oft theatralische Sensibilität mit einer spielerischen visuellen Ästhetik und bietet den Lesern ein einzigartiges und immersives Erlebnis.
