Why have we created this course?

Because sales of children’s books are booming. Revenue from children’s books sales ballooned to $1.7 billion in 2015, according to the Association of American Publishers. Even in this digital age, consumers want the high-touch experience of an actual book. Art directors are on the lookout for artists!

We know that artists love illustrating children’s books. It’s magical to sink into a project for months, creating their own signature characters and world.

Zoe and Lilla have each had great success in the industry and were excited to develop a course together. Both of them regularly work with artists and so they understand how to get the best out of creative people. Together they will give you everything you need to you get work in this lucrative and creatively rich area, branding yourself in your own style.
