Four New Novelty Picture Books Published! Book one - 'Africa's Great Surprise'

Hello! I am happy to say that my novelty picture books which I worked on back in 2020 are now published and I am delighted with them! Published by Little Asus. You can take a look at the website and online shop here! They are beautiful board books printed in Chinese for young children. All have novelty elements like lift the flap, gate fold pages, sliding features and even a magnifying glass! All of the covers have glossing on the front and back which looks beautiful. 

The books are part of the 'Steam' series. Twenty books were published in this series and each artist had four books. Please see below for my four books in all of their glory! 

I worked with watercolours throughout the four books.

This book is entitled 'Africa's Great Surprise'

This tells the story of three children discovering the sights of Africa and all of its animals. The moral here is to cultivate self confidence and self identity. To teach children not to feel inferior or arrogant, and to explore your own strengths and uniqueness. 

The two above pages are one continuous page with a half gate fold to the right.
