A cover reveal for everyone today. Happy Holi is the companion book to Garland of Lights and it is out on the 13th Feb!! This book is full of joy and colour and wonderful words dreamed up by Chitra Soundar.

Happy Holi is published by Bloomsbury and designed by Jenny Stephenson. #kidlitart
A circular rangoli adorns the page made of colourful powders. Two children, a girl and boy stand in the middle of the rangoli. The boy is holding up his hands to the viewer which are covered in colourful powders. The girl has her hands in the air and is looking up to the title of the book. The are both covered in colourful powders which are used in the festival of Holi.

Happy Halloween! #kidlitart #halloween #illustration
A dark spooky scene. A silhouette of a house on top of a hill, it’s top window glowing red. In the foreground we see the silhouette of a boy looking up towards the house. The night sky glows with moonlight in the background

Halloween is approaching. What things lurk in the shadows and other realms we cannot see? #kidlitart #illusttation
We spy an underground cavern littered with arched walkways. The scene is mysterious and haunting. A silhouette of a woman wanders the walkways alone.

girl zooms through space on a engine powered platform. She stand defiant holding up a gem above her head which is eminating a green powerful glow. A old fashioned robot stands behind her nervously look back behind them. The are futuristic looking robots chasing them. They have glowing red eyes and are armed with green lasers which shoot out of their hands. The whole illustration is framed by a metal border which has glowing runes indented into it.

I've spent the summer working up some mock fictions covers. Here's the first one. #kidlitart
A girl runs through a forest towards the viewer. She is wearing autumnal clothes and has a camera around her neck. She is running through high standing stones that resemble creatures in the background. In the foreground black birds take flight and fly off into the sky.

The Woman in Black.
A black pen and block printing ink illustration on white paper of the figure of a woman in black stood over the bed of a man having a troubled sleep. The room is Edwardian in appearance with an old fashioned bedstead and duvet. Frames on the wall and a fireplace. Moonlight illuminates the room from the left of the illustration. Crosshatched black pen and rolled printing ink applied with a small roller. Creepy and atmospheric.

Our characters have discovered an incredible stone structure on an alien planet but unbeknownst to them, they are being watched! #kidlitart #kidlituk
A cloaked figure stands on top of a mountain looking down into a valley of a planet that is not unlike ours. At the bottom of the valley is a stone structure resembling a square headed figure. It has its eyes closed and at the bottom of its stomach is an opening into the stone structure. Our main characters are tiny in the valley as they walk up to the structure. Unbeknownst to them they are being watched by the mysterious cloaked figure. They are holding a spear in their left hand. In the sky above is a big planet and a smaller planet with rings. A girl in a space suit with a space scanner in her hand walks to the left. She is looking back at an old looking robot which is gliding through the air holding out a plant present to her. She looks a bit befuddled. Above her a sleek looking droid hovers along.

Swooping through the sky leaving everything below behind. #kidlitart #kidlituk
We are looking down on a scene. A boy and his friend are flying through the air. Birds fly above and below them. The boy has his arms out as they swoop through the sky. Below them we can see clouds and sky.

Whimsical children’s book illustration showing a mother and daughter planting seeds together. They are surrounded in the background and foreground by giant, whimsical flowers. A couple of fairies and a gnome watch as the little girl drops seeds into a hole, and her mom waters them with a watering can. Both are dressed in old fashioned clothes, skirt, blouse, and apron for mom, and a pinafore and dress for the girl. Both look peaceful and happy.

A space girl, a robot and a droid all look on in shock in the vast expanse of space. We cannot see what they are looking at but a voice on the girl says 'return to base immediately!!!'
