PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Mariajo Ilustrajo is a Spanish Illustrator based in the UK. She completed her MA in Childrens Illustration from the prestigious Cambridge Anglia Ruskin course in April 2021. In November 2020 she was crowned the overall winner of the 2020 Association of Illustrators award, sponsored by Walker Books. Her debut picture book, Flooded, has been translated into over 19 languages.
‘A little girl who says she hates books is encouraged to pick one up at the library and is thrust into a series of brightly hued adventures, with a mysterious masked creature transporting her to magical forests, a witch’s cottage and more. This heroine is enchanting, as are the worlds she finds herself in, and Ilustrajo has a charming and convincing message about the joy of getting lost in a good book.’ * The Bookseller – Editor's Choice * “A delightful book for those who love reading and those who need convincing of its magic.” * Children's Books Ireland *
