CHILDREN’S READERS for all ages
I really enjoy illustrating a variety of story books for children of all ages and literacy levels. These include simple stories with minimal words on each page featuring vibrant and engaging illustrations as well as chapter books with smaller black and white drawings, which embellish lengthier passages of text for older readers. Scroll down for a closer look at selected projects.
