A studio service

A nursery rhyme book, illustrated your way.

A collection of rhymes needs one picture that a toddler can point at for each verse. We illustrate nursery rhyme collections as board books or picture books, in a style that stays consistent from the first rhyme to the last.

Nursery Rhyme Book Illustration

N° 01One scene per rhyme

One scene per rhyme

Each rhyme gets a single clear scene with the main action in the middle of the page, where small children look first.

N° 02Board book or picture book

Board book or picture book

Board books suit 8 to 12 rhymes with bold, simple art. Picture books can hold a longer collection with more detail.

N° 03Your own rhymes too

Your own rhymes too

Traditional rhymes, rhymes you have written, or a mix. We illustrate whatever text you supply.

N° 04Peek inside

Pages like these.

A cat with a fiddle and a cow jumping over the moon
A mouse running up a grandfather clock
A child at a window looking at one bright star

Sample artwork made by Kompanie to show the kind of pages we make. Not client work.
