The figures in this image represent different time periods and cultures, while encouraging young people to read. The illustration brings back memories of my parents reading stories at bedtime. As a preteen, I remember looking through many books in the aisles of a bookstore, trying to decide on which book to take home.
This poster demonstrates my work with watercolor, and its content fits well with my desire to illustrate books for children to young adult. I feel it is important to connect with and acknowledge our cultures and pasts, as well as being informed about others.
So many books here
in the central library—
pages of the past.
