The children's book 'El Cambalache' tells the story of Carolina Cocodrilo, who is jealous of her baby brother. Tired of her mother considering him 'precious' even though he only drools, Carolina decides to go to a baby store to exchange him for a new one, one that fits her tastes. With high doses of humor, this story explores the feelings that arise with the arrival of a new brother and how Carolina discovers the unique value of her own family.
Jan Ormerod, born Janet Louise Hendry, was an Australian illustrator of children's books. She first came to prominence from her wordless picture book Sunshine which won the 1982 Mother Goose Award. Her work was noted for its ability to remove clutter to tell a simple story that young children could enjoy, employing flat colours and clean lines. She produced work for more than 50 books throughout her career, including publications by other authors, such as a 1987 edition of J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan and David Lloyd's retelling of "The Frog Prince". Ormerod began her illustrative career in Britain after moving to England in 1980, but she returned to themes connected to her home country with Lizzie Nonsense (2004), Water Witcher (2008) and the award-winning Shake a Leg (2011) for Aboriginal writer Boori Monty Pryor.
