More about picture book illustration
A favourite picture book will stay in a child’s heart forever. For infants and toddlers, illustrated books represent a window on the world, spark for the imagination and pathway into early reading. Most importantly, bedtime reading is special time spent with a loved one which makes a child feel at ease with the world.
Picture books also play a vital role in a child’s development, creating associations between words and imagery, with rhymes and humour combining with letter forms to give them the building blocks of phonics. A colourful, beautifully illustrated and enjoyable story can turn one picture book into a series, and a talented artist is vital for a picture book project to become a success.
