Malgorzata Detner is a Poland based illustrator, born in 1989. She currently lives with her family, a cocker spaniel, snails, and two lovely rats in Warsaw. Her love of drawing appeared at a young age, influenced by her mother's paintings but grew seriously when she decided to follow art in middle school. Although Malgorzata initially followed a career in costume design with an interest in Victorian dresses, her daughter's birth made her return to traditional painting and digital illustration. Influenced by old animation; Mysterious, fantastic worlds, animals, and creatures in vibrant colours are what she likes drawing the most. She draws digitally but she also likes to incorporate hand-painted textures in her work. Malgorzata loves creating illustrations that remind her of childhood memories. In her free time, she makes needle felted toys and enjoys watching her favourite movies including Studio Ghibli's Totoro.
Cottage Door Press is an independent publisher of high-quality children's books. Our books are designed to spark curiosity in the littlest readers and fan the flames of lifelong learning. We understand children deserve our respect. That's why we always select artwork and stories that encourage caregivers to "read up" to their little ones--exploring interests together, learning together, and giving their young minds room to grow.
We also believe in creating stories that reflect the boundless possibilities of all children. We hope to create books that inspire little ones to connect, encourage them to dream, give them cause to celebrate, and allow them to see themselves beautifully reflected in the stories they read.
To bring these beautiful stories to life, our diverse and talented staff collaborates with authors and illustrators from all backgrounds and nationalities. We have also partnered with multicultural brands and literacy organizations to make sure our books reflect and reach as many little ones as possible.
