Children's Book Portfolio

Hey, thanks for stopping by! Below you’ll find examples from 7 books that I have, or am in the process of illustrating.

While I like to vary my style to suit the needs of my clients and their story, I work hard to keep continuity within each project, working strictly within each colour palette, my approach and which brushes I use. There are also some strong running themes throughout my work. Notably, my attention to detail! From a fiddly abacus, to the spider or the bird I’ve hidden in the background for kids to spot as they make their way through the pages. This is particularly valued by my fellow neurospicies, who need a little more to keep them engaged. 

If you’d like to discuss your own book project, get in touch! I have 1 spot left for 2025.

Count Dycalculia

Written by Mischa Pearson

 

"This book is beautifully illustrated and so fun to read. My son (who struggles to read and has a learning delay) really enjoyed reading this with the audio that comes with the book. The audio is so much fun with sound effects to go along."
