As a children's book illustrator, I absolutely love storytime, school visits, and activities with kids. There's something truly magical about seeing little ones light up with excitement over the stories I help bring to life. Whether I'm reading to kids, leading them in a drawing session, or doing a bit of interactive storytelling, it's always an unforgettable experience.
I absolutely love the questions that the kids ask and how creative they are. They always seem to surprise and delight me. One of the funniest queries I ever received was "why are all the fish in clothes?" to which another kid replied "because we don't want naked fish in children's books!"
Being able to introduce children to a whole world of imagination is why I adore what I do as a children's book illustrator.
