Tropes associated with Judith Kerr include:

  • The Fashionista: Kerr was often seen in striking and beautiful outfits in public events to the extent that the Children's literature organisation Seven Stories have maintained an archive of her wardrobe.
  • Start My Own: She credited her inspiration to chronicle her own childhood experience of World War 2 and being a refugee to present an account that presents survival as possible compared to the famous depressing narrative of Anne Frank.
  • War Refugees: Was famously one herself as a child during World War II to London with her family as her father was a writer critical of the Nazi Party as they were on the rise. Her semi-autobiographical work, When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit is a fictionalized account of the refugee experience.
