Little Mouse, Curious and Creative

Created by HMD Publishing Illustration Studio

Meet Little Mouse, a hand-drawn children's book illustration concept following a woodland explorer through autumn, picnic, painting and stargazing scenes.

Little Mouse holds up a golden leaf on a berry-lined autumn path, reads on a picnic blanket beside a basket and a steaming mug, paints a landscape at an easel against a cottage wall, then studies the night sky through a brass telescope above lamplit rooftops. Each scene shifts the season and the light. The supporting sheets add bird and squirrel turnarounds, twelve expressions, six outfits and a woodland storyboard.
