ANDERSON: Finally this hour, we remember author Judith Kerr, who has died at the age of 95. Now, she is best known for her classic children's tales first and foremost "The Tiger Who Came to Tea" published back in 1968. Kerr famously created the story for her own kids but it became a beloved story for children all over the world. Including me. She wrote and illustrated dozens of books over her career spanning the five decades since. My colleague Christiane Amanpour sat down with Kerr a few years ago to reflect on her career.</s>CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR, CNN CHIEF INTERNATIONAL ANCHOR: What do you hope families have got from these books?</s>JUDITH KERR, AUTHOR: Well, you know I'm terribly pleased they like them. What more can one ask for really? I never dreamt anything like that would happen to me. I wanted originally like everybody who goes to art school to be a painter and I just wanted to draw. I still do. It's the one thing I want to do.</s>ANDERSON: Well those that knew Kerr, how she lit up every room that she walked into. Always displaying a youthful exuberance that absolutely betrayed her age. Her books do the same. And though she is now gone her work will keep bringing smiles to children's faces for many, many years to come. If you haven't read her books, read them. I'm Becky Anderson. That was CONNECT THE WORLD. Wherever you are watching in the world, thank you for watching. CNN of course continues after this short break. END
