Each double-spread is a different story: an opening illustration on the left, a closing illustration on the right. No words to lead it. It is a French language book but mainly wordless

“The Shortest Day” by @cfellis and Susan Cooper (@BIGPictureBooks ) is not only perfect for today but is also a fascinating piece of illustrative art. Read @MDowdLambert ‘s brilliant review using her whole book approach.

Still looking for beautiful books to gift? How about this exquisite edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, illustrated by @minalima ( @harperdesignbks), or this gorgeous edition of Heidi, retold by Jeanne Willis and illustrated by @BrionyMaySmith (@NosyCrowBooks )
#FavePicBookDay a childhood favourite, the Lionni (I still have my copy) and a Bruna, which is rather old too, but I have only just visited his studio and love this particular Miffy book dealing with death and bereavement very aptly I have always found.
It is #InternationalChildrensBookDay. Here are four picturebooks translated from French worth discovering
Second #BookIllustrationOfTheDayBirthday choice is French Canadian picturebook maker Isabelle Arsenault, and this on is from her collaboration with Timothée de Fombelle, “Captain Rosalie”. There is a stillness, a beauty to her work that makes the reader pause totake it in.
Happy Birthday Matilda! In my mind you could never have become anything but a librarian.
May you continue to inspire little bookworms for another 30 years and more ❤️ #Matilda30
