Beautifully Illustrated Children's Books
July 20, 2020 by Ramona Morrow
The Most Beautifully Illustrated Children's Books are embodied in our memories forever. When we see those children's book illustrations again, we are instantly reminded of those happier childhood memories of where and when we first saw them. We might even remember who read the storybook to us.
Before going to bed, my nightly bedtime routine when I was a child, was putting on my favourite pajamas, washing my face, brushing my teeth, and finally combing my hair. My mother allowed me every night to pick out the storybook I would like her to read. I would climb into bed and she would sit on the other side, just slightly angling the illustrated children's book in my direction so I could see the pictures while she read to me. That is my favourite memory of my mother which will last me a lifetime.
When you pick up, choose, or purchase an illustrated children's book, have you ever asked yourself the question as to what it was about the storybook to have grabbed your attention? Was it because you had the book when you were a child? Was it because the book is new to the children's market? Was it because the illustrations in that particular children's book were so absolutely undeniable phenomenal gorgeous detail that made you go, "WOW, I got to get my child this book!"
