This months Spotted – Our Diwali and Halloween Books! Both Diwali and Halloween fall on the same day this month, October 31st, bringing a unique cultural overlap. Being two of the most vibrant cultural festivals, we are joining in celebrating by spotting our books about these events. These titles were added to the bestselling Baby Touch series we updated with the Penguin Random House UK team, and join the other festival titles: Eid, Easter and Christmas. Diwali is celebrated by lighting lamps, decorating buildings, exchanging presents, being with family and watching huge firework displays. This meant we had our work cut out to include everything into the 5 spreads board book layout. Keeping the illustrations bright and simple, we managed to feature the key icons, encourage little ones to touch-and-feel the pages as well as introduce them to the wonderful celebration. Ghosts! Spiders! Ghouls! How do you make a traditionally scary festival adorable? The question asked of many a designer! Add in cute faces, googly eyes, fancy dress and bright colours and you can make even the scariest icon fun. We are really proud of these two titles and the reaction they have had. You can get yourself a copy at any leading bookstore! Images by thekidsbookshop and Penguin Random House. #lemonribbonstudio #babybookillustration #kidsillustration #diwali #halloween
