Children's Book Illustration

Mira, Curious, Kind and Full of Wonder

Created by HMD Publishing Illustration Studio

Meet Mira, a hand-drawn children's book illustration concept of round glasses, rainbow pinwheels, park easels and everyday wonder with a big heart.

Mira reads a green storybook under a desk lamp beside a Be Kind note, paints a pink flower at a park easel, races down an autumn lane holding a rainbow pinwheel, and hugs her teddy in bed beneath a crescent moon. Sunny yellow, leaf green and red sneakers give her a bold, cheerful silhouette. The supporting sheets add turnarounds, twelve expressions, action poses, five outfit variations, storybook moments, favourite things and studies with her best friend Arlo and her playful pup.
