How Bankuet helps
Meet the author
Madelaine Black loves sharing funny stories and silly songs with her grandchildren. Her other favourite thing to do is to help charities and non-profits to raise funds and awareness.
The idea for her book about a magical talking ketchup bottle came to Madelaine after an inspirational morning she spent volunteering at her local food bank.
Her goal is to help remove the stigma around being a food bank customer and to help raise as much money as possible for food banks.
Meet the illustrator
Shirley Waisman has been drawing and painting as long as she can remember and has illustrated more than 50 books for children. Her greatest reward is seeing children smiling as they enjoy her illustrations.
She studied her craft in Israel and Japan. Shirley Waisman is a graduate of the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design with a BA in visual communication. She was awarded a research scholarship that allowed her to spend two years in Japan researching children’s book illustration.
Today, she works as an illustrator while also working on her Master’s degree in art and education.
