My Beastly Book of Twisted Tales

Late last year I gave a copy of My Beastly Book of Twisted Tales to my talented 7 year old niece, Lauren. She always impresses me with her passion and creativity, so I knew she would enjoy it. I would have loved this as a child, and I really applaud OwlKids and Berengere Delaporte for making such a beautiful book. The quality, imagination, and variety is top-notch. Kathy Weller reviewed the book last year - you can read about it here.

I've included scans from a few of my favorite pages. Lauren used black pen throughout most of the book, and her style was so similar to the artist, that I colorized her work blue to distinguish it.

I think she's captured this brilliantly. I honestly do a double-take on this page every time.

Looks like a genie to me! And in proportion too - I would have drawn right off the top of the page at this age.
And last, but not least. I like how she made twins, rather than a mash-up of the two. Thank you for sharing your work with us, Lauren! We can't wait to feature your first book someday!
