A Few Words from the Illustrator:

I am Snez, an artist and children’s book illustrator. I am passionate about children’s books because I believe that illustrations in books help children to extend their imagination and get a taste of art from an early age. I aim to create magical and colourful art to engage children and bring happy experiences to reading.
