I'm traveling right now and got to go to the library, a huge and beautiful one by the way! I couldn't help but picture what it would be like to spend the night there all by myself with a flashlight and some chocolate. ;o)
Anyway, I found this adorable book. The author is Margaret Wild and the illustrator is Stephen Michael King. Published by Harry N. Abrams.
The cover just instantly grabbed me but then the story and inside illustrations just stole my heart. It's a loving story of a piglet looking for his mom. It's tender yet fun at the same time. The illustrations are amazing, so alive. The line work is so organic and free as well as the watercolor splashes on every spread. I fell in love with Stephen's style and characters.
This is such a nice book to read with your little one. I highly recommend it.
And here is a great little video of Stephen painting. I like what the fun flying text says too. :o)

It's so hard to pick just one! I have to go with John Lawrence. UK illustrator who works in traditional woodblock printmaking. He is brilliant and a master of the medium. I could look at his artwork all day and cry for more! You can see some of his working sketches and thought process in the book, Illustrating Children's Books.

When I decided to use felt for my illustrative medium, I scoured the bookstore and Internet to see if anyone else was doing it too. That's when I discovered the talented Clare Beaton.
She is definitely one of my favorite illustrators and I collect all of her books. I wish I had her flair for stitching and embellishments!

Ana Juan is a new (to me!) favorite illustrator. I fawned over her first picture book Frida earlier this year and fell right in love with her exotic and edgy style. Ana, a Spanish illustrator, has illustrated several children's books released in the states and is successful as an editorial illustrator as well. The Jewel Box Ballerinas is another great example of her work. I've always liked darker and quirkier books and her style lend itself beautifully to such stories.
Her picture books are very popular in Japan too.
My parents also gave me the books in my childhood.
I got to want to watch the movie "Miss Potter".
I've not watched it yet.
This is such a wonderful post Alicia! Beatrix Potter is one of my very favorites too. Thank you for reminding me about "Miss Potter". I think I'll try to track it down today to watch it again! :)
one of the best presents I was ever presented was "Beatrix Potter: A Journal" ;) I love her, too... she is very inspiring for women as well... being that she made enough to support herself as well, which was rare during her day.
nice post, ;)
lol!! Beatrix is my hero, too, Ali!!! From the very beginning of my journey, I have loved Beatrix Potter! And of course, I bought the movie as soon as it was available and have watched it over and over again, along with the documentary that came with it. :) Thanks for this sweet post!!
I'm glad to hear she is your hero too you guys! Yes, Mai, that makes it even more remarkable... She did all that being a woman in a man's world. :o)
