Children's Book Illustration

Nuna, Little Dreamer of the North

Created by HMD Publishing Illustration Studio

Meet Nuna, a hand-drawn children's book illustration concept of snowy villages, lamplit storybooks, a loyal sled pup and skies full of northern lights.

Nuna walks a snowy village lane at sunrise, reads a storybook beside a glowing oil lamp, holds out a hand to a chickadee on a snowy branch, and stands beneath green and violet aurora ribbons with a packed sled. Frost whites and warm lamp golds share every scene. The supporting sheets add turnarounds, eight expressions, action poses with lantern and sled, six clothing variations, companions including Koda the sled pup and neighbour Sila, and a winter-day storyboard with book mockups.
