Margaret Tempest deserves her own mention for #BookIllustrationOfTheDay for bringing Alison Uttley’s #LittleGreyRabbit (and Moldy Warp) to life. The Author didn’t like the pictures apparently, but they seem inseparable today. #BookIllustrationoftheDayBirthday @mrjamesmayhew
And, still on authors/illustrators, may I mention the amazing @henryhneff, whose YA fantasy books feature his own illustrations? A selection from his 1st series, The Tapestry!

My twitter feed has been joyfully full of #BookIllustrationOfTheDay celebrations! Thank you @mrjamesmayhew! My contribution (predictably!) is from an author/illustrator: J.R.R. #Tolkien, who famously provided his own illustrations for The Hobbit!

It's so hard to pick my top fav illustrated book, but perhaps the most influential to me is Doris Smith's 'House by Mouse' - a real gem of a tiny book with the most gorgeous illustrations. So many details and unique ideas! #inspiration #BookIllustrationOfTheDay
Rhai darluniau hyfryd o'r casgliad #RedHenPress ar gyfer #BookIllustrationOfTheDay. Y llyfr cyntaf a gynhyrchwyd o dan yr argraffiad hwn oedd 'Scop hwīlum sung / Sometimes a poet sang', cyfres o acwatintau a ysbrydolwyd gan ddarnau o farddoniaeth #AngloSacsoneg.
We couldn't let #BookIllustrationOfTheDay pass without sharing some beautiful images from our #RedHenPress collection. The first book produced under this imprint was Scop hwīlum sang / Sometimes a poet sang, a suite of #aquatints inspired by passages of #AngloSaxon poetry.
Today is #BookIllustrationOfTheDayBirthday These images are by my all time favourite book illustrator - the fantastic Brian Wildsmith. And it only occurred to me today @mrjamesmayhew that your own illustrations also have this wonderful, painterly, emotive quality - I love them!
I love every illustration in this book & for @mrjamesmayhew’s #BookIllustrationOfTheDay & #BookIllustrationOfTheDayBirthday here’s an illy by the talented @KadirNelson for Spike Lee & @TLewisLee’s book “Please, Puppy, Please” as it was one of my choices for #7days7covers 🐶🐱📘
#BookIllustrationOfTheDayBirthday
I ADORE all Anita Jeram illustrations 😍
@mrjamesmayhew
Our choice for #BookIllustrationOfTheDayBirthday is from one of our shortlisted illustrated books for our #WaterstonesChildrensBookPrize , the stunning and entirely unique #JulianisaMermaid by @Jessica67755257 #mermaid #Illustrator @mrjamesmayhew #MondayMotivaton @Candlewick
"In an old house in Paris that was covered in vines..." One of the most memorable books from my own childhood, by Ludwig Bemelmans.
#BookIllustrationOfTheDayBirthday @mrjamesmayhew
This was really hard but I have limited myself to: #EHShepard , because nobody captured movement and expression quite like him, #QuentinBlake , my childhood hero, and my favourite modern #illustrator @Alex_T_Smith . #BookIllustrationOfTheDayBirthday @mrjamesmayhew #illustrators
#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is just our sort of thing @Mary_Evans. It's impossible to pick one example from the huge selection we have in our archives, so we've gone for Florence Mary Anderson who did these absolute beauties, among others. For more, do visit https://t.co/nenUIxE5kP
My 2 year olds obsession with the moon led me to remember one of my all time favourite illustrations. It gives you that warm and fuzzy feeling every time you see it....Barbara Firth's beautiful illustrations in Can't You Sleep Little Bear. 🐻♥️
#BookIllustrationOfTheDayBirthday
From the sublime & moving 'The Last Giants' written & illustrated by Francois Place #BookIllustrationOfTheDayBirthday ( #MondayMotivation )
...and...#BookIllustrationOfTheDayBirthday @mrjamesmayhew #WilliamBlake
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 #BookIllustrationOfTheDayBirthday @mrjamesmayhew - what better way to celebrate than with a feast of Provensens and A Visit to William Blake’s Inn by Nancy Willard!
So hard to choose! My favourites just now are Cassandra Darke by Posy Simmonds, One Cheetah, One Cherry by @JackieMorrisArt , Winnie the Pooh by A.A. Milne and E.H. Shepard, and ‘Peedie Pointy Dog’ by me.. still to be published 😂 @mrjamesmayhew #BookIllustrationOfTheDayBirthday
Happy #BookIllustrationOfTheDayBirthday Thank you @mrjamesmayhew , you've brightened my mornings. I've always loved Pauline Baynes's illustrations. This is for The Hoard by J. R. R. Tolkien (The adventures of Tom Bombadil).
