Children’s Authors and Illustrators Week is celebrated the first week of February, and is a wonderful opportunity to spotlight some local and acclaimed illustrated children’s books.
An illustrated children’s book allows for a unique way to engage with a story – presenting a beautiful landscape for a child to immerse themselves in through images. This week, we are celebrating five books that we want to share with our community that are both beautifully crafted stories and artistically illustrated.
