Shelving books one day in the library, I was struck by an illustration style with classic elements, and an airy feeling that encouraged me to ask, “Who drew this?” The book was Infinity and Meby Kate Hosford, which joyfully questions how a child can attempt to understand the concept of infinity.
The artists is Gabi Swiatkowska. She lives in France, and her artwork feels like an homage to classic French illustrations with a decidedly modern twist. The color pallete is muted, mostly earth-tones, and grey shades, interspersed with pops of red from the girl’s shoes. Decorative wallpaper segments adorn the pages, and give the book a timeless feel, so appropriate for a book about Infinity.
This Baby,is a book by Kate Banks, which was also illustrated by Gabi Swiatkowska. The book is about a big sister who encourages her mom to get prepared for the new baby. It’s told in a whimsical, sing-song format, and the text is hand written rather than type faced. The images are more painterly than drawn. Brushstrokes are visible and primary colors fill the pages. We enter the girl’s fantasy visions of what the baby looks like in the womb, and imagine with her all of the things that the baby will do and wear.
