#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Maurice Sendak for Alec Wilder's song setting of R.L. Stevenson's "Windy Nights", in "Lullabies & Night Songs" (1965). Stevenson's wild & wonderful words are beautifully matched in Sendak's sweeping line work. A rare & truly favourite book of mine!

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Arnold Lobel (my hero) for Miriam Young's "Miss Suzy" (1964). Was there ever a more adorable, beady eyed little mouse? Line, colour, mood... All combine to perfection. And such character too.

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Boris Artzybasheff for the Russian folk tale The Seven Simeon (1937). Astonishing filigree work that simply dazzles! Elegantly decorative, almost rococo yet with a nod to icons & folk art. Artzybasheff also Illustrated for Time magazine in the 40s.

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Harold Jones for The Old Woman who Lived in a Shoe, from Lavender's Blue (1954). Delicacy, elegance and tradition are beautifully combined to create something very special. One of the great mid 20th C illustrators.

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by @dannydeeptown for @evelynbookless's "Captain Green & the Plastic Scene" (2018), a timely tale on a topic close to my heart. Embullient & colourful illustrations make a difficult theme really accessible. Should be in every school! @Authors4Oceans

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Margaret Bloy Graham for "Harry the Dirty Dog" by Gene Zion (1956). Such an iconic classic, and still as irresistible as ever. I love the muted, limited colour and bold line. Note the little sign in cafe window: "No Dogs"... poor Harry!

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Arnold Lobel for Robert A. Morris's "Seahorse" (1972). A gorgeous #nonfiction #EarlyReaderBook about the life cycle of the seahorse. A watery delicacy to the line and wash brings grace, beauty and wonder to these magical creatures of the sea...

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Robert Lumley for Vera Southgate's #LadybirdBook "The Wolf and the Seven Little Kids" (1969). This illustration fascinated/horrified me as a child. The Wolf has been cut open to free the kids, & mother goat fills him with stones & sews him up!

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Maurice Sendak for Else Homelund Minarik's "Father Bear Comes Home". If there exists a more charming, touching, warm & tender early reader, I have yet to see it. Sendak's masterly line work captures every gesture and emotion... Exquisite.

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Agnes Miller Parker for Spenser's "The Faery Queen" (1953). Born in Scotland, her glorious woodcuts graced a wide variety of material, from natural history to Thomas Hardy. Her skilful use of light and shade creates great drama and elegant shapes.
