Published in 1982, Bea and Mr. Jones was the first book written by American author and illustrator Amy Schwartz. An improbable, yet successful tale of parent and child trading places, it has inspired the hearts and imaginations of readers for more that forty years.

In its unique simplicity, Bea and Mr. Jones quietly campaigns for agency, authenticity and dignity at work and in life. We do not have to remain stuck in the roles society has defined for us. What is for you may not come to you in the manner you expect.

Oeuvre | Schwartz (1954-2023) authored thirty-four books and illustrated twenty-one. Her genre was children’s fiction and her reach universal and timeless.
