I drew some characters from 6 popular children’s books in my style!

This was a really fun challenge! 😆 what was your favorite children’s book growing up?

HAPPY EARTH DAY

My 2nd illustrated kids book, Everyone Starts Small, is all about the cycles of life and nature.

Hi everyone! Recently I had the chance to work on an illustration that will be the cover art for a poem collection called “Pluto” written by Frankie Sims.

Working on this piece was both fun and challenging due to a tight deadline and an abundance of ideas to choose from (and I’m a really indecisive person! 😆) Although the author knew what emotions they would like to portray through the cover illustration, I was given the artistic freedom to come up with my own suggestions for how it could be translated into art. Many sketches and drafts later we ended up with the picture that you can see above! ☺️🫶

I had the chance to already read a few poems that will be included in this collection and I’m looking forward to reading them all once “Pluto” is published. Please check out Frankie’s instagram account for more details and updates on the book! 👇
