The children’s book industry is currently undergoing change, with pressure to look outside itself and to be an honest reflection of modern society. Successful children’s books combine engaging illustration alongside a captivating story, many also include a moral lesson, which can positively influence a child’s learning. Working alongside Sheffield Hallam Journalism students in this project I designed characters that represent the diversity of modern society and created key spreads. This project was part of my body on work submitted for my final year of university.
