This Child Every Child Cover illustration



Lauryn is a friend of a friend's daughter whose pure enthusiasm and beauty is captured in this painting of a child happily weaving baskets overseas.
I enjoyed making this image in collaboration with KCP...and it marked the tone for the rest of the book.


This Child Every Child



This is one of my most powerful images
illustrated.
My son posed for this illustration which
made this image most realistic and most
fragile at the same time.

Text speaks of children and war and the implications.The image says it all.Tough research went into this spread.
