How to get Started with Illustrating Children's Books

Illustrating children's books is great fun and highly rewarding but it is also not as simple and easy as it might seem. I am entirely self-taught and here I share some of my tips for getting started and improving your ability with writing children’s storybooks and creating illustrations for children’s books.

The Scariest Dinosaur - My First Illustrated Children's Book is out now!

All dinosaurs are scary. Aren't they? Asked who is the scariest, the dinosaurs argue that each is more scary than the other but we soon discover that the scariest creature might not be the creature you think! A light-hearted look at dinosaurs with a lesson in never judging someone on size alone. The Scariest Dinosaur is aimed at 3-7 year olds and makes a great bedtime read but also has beautifully illustrated images that children will find engaging and they may even spot some unexpected guests hiding in the pictures. The Scariest Dinosaur is Roy R. Awbery's debut children's book and was inspired by his love of art (Roy is also an accomplished artist) and his fondness for making up stories for his grandchildren. Combining the two seemed to be a natural progression.
