This is my most recent work for Keepsake Tales. Keepsake Tales creates personalized children’s books and I have had the honor to be their head illustrator. In this role I create all the assets needed to build a character from various skin tones, to hairstyles, to eye shape and body positions. At Keepsake Tales you can create your child so that they can be the ‘Champion’ in their very own children’s book.

For this book, The Bear Hug, I created the background illustrations for 21 pages of story as well as all of the character assets. The story centers around a child who wants to know what it’s like for other children living around the globe. Are they the same as him? What do they like to do for fun? I hope you’ll take a moment to check out the Bear Hug and other amazing stories found at Keepsake Tales and you can find more of my work here on Hireillo.
