Children's Book Illustration

Lila, Dreamer, Observer and Star Collector

Created by HMD Publishing Illustration Studio

Meet Lila, a hand-drawn bedtime illustration concept of moon-gazing, starlight collecting, lantern paths and a lakeside jetty beneath the Milky Way.

Lila tilts her face up to a crescent moon in a field of gold stars and daisies, reads her star notebook on the window seat beside Luna the cat, carries a lantern along a flower-lined path toward a lit cottage, and sits with the cat on a jetty beneath the Milky Way. Old-gold and deep teal glow like an antique storybook. The supporting sheets add turnarounds, nine expressions, dynamic poses, six outfit variations, Comet the teddy, a Luna companion turnaround and a six-panel story moment ending in sweet dreams.
