Want to know which market is the most progressive and positive, IMHO?

I often say that the most positive and progressive change occurring right now is happening in children’s book publishing. Case in point: This Little Environmentalist and This Little Rainbow (Love is Love) board books illustrated by Daniel Roode for Little Simon, and Baby’s First Kind Words illustrated by Hsinping Pan for Storey Publishing. These teach little children about climate, LGBTQIA+, and kindness. It makes me so happy.

The inimitable Helen Dardik fully illustrated this vivid, charmingly eccentric series of board books (which include stickers!) for
Editions Lito.

Check out Daniel Roode’s incredible “This Little…” series! for Little Simon (Photo top left, courtesy Joan Holub).
The series continues with This Little Environmentalistreleased next week.

 

Flora Waycott beautifully illustrated this shaped board book from Chronicle. Each page reveals a new topping. Lots of fun for little hands.
Exciting news!
The second in the series, Made with Love: Donuts will be available this July!

 

Hsinping Pan’s charm, rich color and great storytelling are on display in her newest illustrated book for Storey Publishing

 

Rebecca Jones is constantly busy illustrating children’s products, and you can see why. Her paint technique, her pretty colors, and happy worlds are always in demand. From Pan Macmillan.

 

We wanted to show you this charming art that John Coulter recently created for a pitch. His bold colors, adorable characters, and vintage style are perfect for children’s book illustrations.

News flash! Our Toy Residency 2021

Are you an art director in the toy/game market? Want to see what our artists will do during our weeklong LRS-artists only Residency happening the week of March 15th? Our artists will be making absolutely genius toy and game pitches based on my brand-new Make Art That Sells course, My Toy Pitch, that I’m co-teaching with our brilliant toy, game and children’s entertainment agent, Riley Wilkinson.
The My Toy Pitch course goes live in July, so my artists will be getting a jump on the course material early, creating what I know will be some extraordinary toy and game pitches for this hot market that’s looking for innovative ideas illustrated beautifully.
Contact us to view the live showing of the artists’ work in progress on Zoom during the Residency (and give feedback if you like), or view the final work afterwards.
