My children, from a very early age, have always loved being read to whether it be right away in the morning or just before tucking them into bed at night.
Many of the books I've read to them have become an important part of their childhood memories that they will remember far into adulthood.
Children's book pictures, whether they are colorful or just black and white drawings, breathe life into the characters.
When I was a little girl my sister and I loved the story of Ping the naughty little Chinese duckling who gets separated from his family as they sail away on a river boat. The drawings transported us directly to the small boat sailing down the Yangtze River in China where we first met Ping. This little duck left a lasting impression on both my sister and me. Not only did little Ping teach us about the consequences of disobeying but we got a small glimpse into the far away distant country of China through the pictures. (Oh, and to this day my sister affectionately names little baby ducks "Ping".)
Life lessons are told through these stories, teaching children so many important things but at their level. Below is a great graphic from Invaluable highlighting some of the life lessons taught to children through some of the most beloved children's books.
So many times the author who wrote the story receives all the accolades but have you ever wondered who is behind the pictures and illustrations in a book? Who are these artists and illustrators and what inspired them to create these lovable characters?
Here is a fabulous behind the scenes look from the Invaluable.com blog into eight children's book illustrators and artists who brought these lovable classic stories to life. Their stories are fun to read and I'm sure you will enjoy them as much as I did.
Next time your little one crawls onto your lap to snuggle up for a bedtime story take a little extra time to explore the illustrations and artwork and remember the great artist who created it.
