Storybook Art

This engaging activity book bridges the gap between reading and making by presenting 100 hands-on art projects directly inspired by the styles of celebrated picture book illustrators. Each project is thoughtfully paired with a personal quote from the illustrator and clear, step-by-step instructions that emphasize creative exploration over rigid outcomes. The inclusion of child-sketched portraits and samples of original children's artwork makes the artistic process feel accessible and exciting for young creators. It’s a wonderful resource for integrating art into literacy, helping children see the connection between the stories they love and the art they can create themselves.

What truly sets this guide apart is its open-ended approach, which values individual expression and ensures that no two projects will look the same. The activities are designed to be easy to follow, using common materials, making it a practical choice for both home and classroom settings. Parents and educators seeking to foster a deeper appreciation for book illustration while encouraging creative confidence will find this an invaluable tool. It successfully transforms reading into an interactive, multi-sensory experience that celebrates the unique voice of every young artist.
