#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Jane Simmons for “Little Fern’s First Winter” (2000). Jane’s sensitive and painterly illustrations are a joy in this story about a rabbit experiencing that shift from Autumn to Winter, & the first snows. No snow in Suffolk yet, but it’s very cold.
#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Angela Barrett for “Snow White” by Josephine Poole (1991), continuing the festive #pantomime theme. Barrett offers an exquisitely thoughtful, beautifully imagined fresh view of the age-old tale. Here the prince mourns the dead Snow White…
#BookIllustrationOfTheDay returns! First up, this illustration by @MrTotoMartinez, in collaboration with his husband (me!), from #TheFrogsKiss (@scholasticuk pub. May 2023). A charmingly inclusive twist on the Frog Prince fairy tale... here, our hero discovers #BookIllustration!
Authors/illustrators! Let's make a thread of books that make great Christmas gifts. I'll start!
#OnceUponATune - Carnegie nominated intro to Classical Music #GaspardsChristmas - the kindest festive story (@zebsoanes) #EllaBellaNutcracker 4 budding ballerinas! And #LoAndBehold
#EllaBellaBallerina & the #SleepingBeauty was the first in this best-selling series, and I chose it because it's my favourite of #Tchaikovsky's ballet scores. I'm so excited to be illustrating the original story LIVE with a FULL orchestra on November 27th: https://t.co/6HBvlR4s1r
One of the most challenging illustrations in "Gaspard's Christmas" by @zebsoanes was the opening spread of a London skyline. Gaspard, an Islington fox, wouldn't really see very much. But an imagined search for food takes him to Parliament Hill, reimagined in the snow & the dark!
@Abbyoutofoffice It HAS to be Gaspard's Christmas. It really is all about kindness, and royalties go toward helping the homeless! @zebsoanes
Huge congrats to @MrEagletonIan on the publication of #TheWoodcutterAndTheSnowPrince, illustrated by Davide Ortu! ❄️ Wishing you both every success.
