The Birthday Crown

by Davide Cali, illustrated by Kate Slater

Queen Elizabeth II turned 90 in 2016. As part of the celebrations in her honour, the Royal Collection Trust issued a collage book for children, The Birthday Crown. The book pairs Davide Cali’s words with collage artist Kate Slater. An illustrator by trade, Salter’s collage and papercut work often reads like miniature theatre sets in part because they are. She creates and photographs three-dimensional scenes out of cut-outs to produce the images.

In a News & Notes item in Kolaj #16, we talked about the book and Slater’s collages.

The Royal Collection Trust said:

“The Birthday Crown is a delightful tale of The Queen’s search for the perfect crown to wear on the occasion of her birthday,”
