Whenever I go to a book store, I make sure to visit the Children’s section. There is something about the creative way that authors write the moral of the story that I love {guess that’s why they are authors}. And have you noticed how beautiful the illustrations are for kids? It really is inspiring. I came across Emma San Cartier‘s site and it was full of work that reminded me of how much fun it is to browse through my favorite bookstore area. I can just imagine all of these lining the pages or gracing the covers of editions I would enjoy having in my collection. Do you peruse the Children’s Book Section at stores?

    Wow, these are gorgeous! Can’t believe they came from a children’s book – that’s so cool. Would make such a nice gift too :)

    thank you so much for sharing this. Yes. I sware I always go to the book section for kids whenever I go to Barnes and Noble (Boo Borders).
    When we were kids we always wanted to look at the books with illustrations. But as a kid, I was always looking at the colors and small detail. I was a weird, artsy child. But now as an adult, and after seeing these pictures u posted, I realize that today’s childbook illustrators are really progressing. Another great find for MixedPlate

    I love the children’s section… I think it is my favorite! Now that I have two young girls, I have the perfect excuse to browse and buy. I LOVE the illustrations in this post!
