According to her autobiography, A Life Drawing (2002), her application to Oxford was based on the misinformation that the city had an ice rink and she “rather fancied myself on ice”. At Ruskin, she studied life drawing, laying the foundation for so much of her later illustrations. We're all a bit naughty sometimes, aren't we? You should meet this girl. She's called My Naughty Little Sister. Much later, she wrote fiction: The Lion and the Unicorn (2000), a short novel with many illustrations for six- to eight-year-olds, and two wartime adventures, Hero on a Bicycle (2012) and Whistling in the Dark (2016). In 2012 she published Dixie O’Day: In The Fast Lane!, the first in an illustrated series created jointly with her daughter, Clara Vulliamy. For her last book, written at the age of 92, she returned to the story of the lost toy dog with a seasonal sequel, Dogger’s Christmas, published in 2020.

Do you have a little sister or brother? What are some fun things you like to do together with them? She could create a sense of drama out of the smallest thing and resolve it without ever needing to deliver a message. Instead, she relied on children and their parents being largely sensible and so able to solve problems for themselves.If you were to share a story about your own sibling, what funny adventure would you tell about them? Step Into My Shoes: The big sister tells the stories. Rewrite them from the little sister's point of view, explaining her actions. How does seeing things from a different angle help us understand why people act the way they do?
