How to choose an ILLUSTRATOR for your Children book?
How to choose an ILLUSTRATOR for your Children book?

DEFINE THE VISION: Before searching, identify the theme, and emotional feel of your book.

ESTABLISH A BUDGET: Costs vary based on experience, project complexity, and the artist's rate.

EVALUATE STYLE OVER SUBJECT: Choose an artist whose artistic style matches your vision, rather than someone who has just drawn a similar subject before.

CHECK COMMUNICATION & EXPERIENCE: Ensure the illustrator is a good communicator, understands your project goals, and has experience with the necessary format.

DISCUSS CONTRACTS & REVISIONS: Clarify the number of revisions included

A personalized book featuring multiple loved ones is more than a gift; it's a tangible memory, a treasure chest full of shared moments.
A personalized book featuring multiple loved ones is more than a gift; it's a tangible memory, a treasure chest full of shared moments.

At Dreamy Tale Studio, we firmly believe in the unique power of personalization. A book where a child sees themselves as the hero of their own adventure is a gift that sparks imagination, boosts self-confidence, and can ignite a lifelong love for reading.

Many first-time Children’s book authors think illustration comes last. In reality, illustration often shapes the story, pacing, and emotions.

Style matching is everything in CHILDREN’S BOOK. An illustration should feel like it belongs to the author’s voice—not overpower it.

Client Reviews

"I can't say enough good things about Meri! Her illustrations brought my children's books to life in a way I never imagined. Each page is bursting with color and personality, perfectly capturing the spirit of the stories. Kids are instantly drawn to the characters and the reviews all mention how much they love the illustrations. Working with Meri has been a joy; she listened to my ideas and added her own magic. I can't wait to create more books with her which is why I chose a publisher that would allow me to continue using my own illustrator. “

— Talar Coursey

"I was very impressed and pleased with Dreamy Tale Studio's work, especially with the range provided (I wanted a very different style, more classical, than what is usually avilable - which is what I got!). They were very good when it came to communication, changes and revisions, and helped oversee the entire process. Publishing is in process, but I am happy to know that the illustrations are the best I can ask for."

— Michael Aghasaryan

“The illustrations captured the spirit of my story perfectly. The characters are expressive, playful, and full of life—children immediately connected with them. It was a pleasure collaborating on this project.”

— Erin Garvin

”Beautiful illustrations, thoughtful communication, and a true love for children’s books. My story felt alive on every page.”

— Natasha Collins
