At the very beginning of the world the earth was a dry and dusty place, where nothing could live and nothing could grow. So God made a mist, which watered the ground all over. Then, with his great hands, he formed the first man out of the clay of the newly watered earth." Jane Ray's beautiful version of the familiar story takes into account creation myths the world over.

The story of Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden is powerful because it is the story of all the children growing up and going out into the world. The need to recreate that perfect garden and live again in harmony with the environment is more pressing today than ever before

Born in London, Jane studied art and design at Middlesex University. After graduating she designed a series of greetings cards for Roger la Borde, with whom she still works, followed by various editorial work, posters and book jackets.

But she was drawn to the world of children’s books and in 1989 her first full colour picture book, A Balloon for Grandad by Nigel Gray, was published, the start of a long and continuing collaboration with Orchard. Since then Jane has illustrated over 60 children’s books, working with authors such as Michael Rosen, Carol Ann Duffy, Jeanette Winterson, Dianne Hofmeyr, Kevin Crossley Holland and Sita Brahmachari.

She also writes her own material including Can you catch a Mermaid?, The Apple Pip Princess, The Dolls House Fairy, Ahmed and the Feather Girl and The Elephant’s Garden.
