It’s Sunday! And that means It’s time for another #WeeklyIllustratorHighlight, and this week it’s Emily Sutton @emilysuttonartist 🌻 . Emily’s illustrations are so bright and colourful, they always put me in a good mood. ☀️ The books shown here are ‘One Christmas Wish’, written by Katherine Rundell (shown at the bottom) and a picture book I recently bought, ‘The Ups and Downs of the Castle Mice’, which might be my new favourite picture book. Largely because these mice live in a doll’s house, and there is a two-page illustration of the doll’s house and it is AMAZING. 🏠 . There is so much detail in the illustrations, you can spend a whole lot of time just exploring them and discovering new little things you didn’t see before. Also, because the illustrations are so large, finding the mice from the story in them can become a real challenge. 🐀 Lastly, let’s talk about that cover (actual and dust jacket) because WOW. 😍 . . . #emilysutton #theupsanddownsofcastlemice #onechristmaswish #michaelbond #bodleyhead #penguinbooks #penguinrandomhouse #illustrator #bookstagram #cozyvibes #cozyaesthetic #momstagram #kidlit #childrensbooks #childrensillustration #bookcover #bookcoverart #beautifulbooks #kidliterature https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Fh8j-gYca/?igshid=1ovxamcxfh57c

Flock by Gemma Koomen . #QOTD: Do you like picture books?📖 . I’ve been toying for a while with thinking of different ways to include picture books on my instagram. I feel they don’t receive as much attention in the bookstagram community as other genres, even though we love pretty covers so much! And also, I really love picture books, especially the illustrations! So I’ve decided to try out a new #WeeklyIllustratorHighlight to shine a spotlight on some of my favourite illustrators! If you have any illustrators you love, let me know so I can check them out! 🥰✨ . I picked my first feature based on one of the latest picture books I bought: Gemma Koomen! 🌳 I fell in love with her feed when I first came across it on Instagram, and I had been waiting for her online shop to open ever since, which happened just before Christmas. I managed to control myself and order one print and her debut picture book, Flock! Flock follows the story of Sylvia, a Tree Keeper who doesn’t like playing with the others. Then one day she befriends a baby bird called Scruff, and she just might find she enjoys having a friend. 🐦 . If I had to describe Gemma’s style in one word, it would have to be COZY, and the whole book screams that as well. I mean, who wouldn’t want to spend a day with ‘little people who stand as tall as your thumb and have heads the size of walnuts’? Swipe to see some highlights from the book!🌿 . . . #Flock #GemmaKoomen #illustrator #bookstagram #quartokids #franceslincoln #cozyvibes #cozyaesthetic #momstagram #kidlit #childrensbooks #childrensillustration #bookcover #bookcoverart #beautifulbooks #kidliterature https://www.instagram.com/p/B7hWfk_grpq/?igshid=10zsxtjhv49yy
