“Chantelle and Burgen are incredible illustrators to work with. The storyboarding for each book is meticulously thought through. Careful consideration is given to each character and the detail and colour of their work is beautiful. They are enthusiastic and also work to schedule. I would highly recommend using them.— Carol Broomhall, Publisher | Jacana Media

About Chantelle & Burgen Thorne.
We illustrate together 'cos it's more fun and the end result is always more satisfying. The magic of children’s books is that they're not just for kids - books read to children are a shared experience too. The thrill is in the show-and-tell, the pairing of art and story. With picture books, every word and every image is important.
We are Chantelle and Burgen, living on a beautiful smallholding in Africa, being inspired by the world around us – the animals, the garden and the food that comes from it, the sound of the river in the valley below the stone house we built, the sun sinking behind the magnificent Drakensberg mountains through our kitchen window. Art is in everything - cooking, gardening, moving, breathing.
Our picture book's to date: Kantiga 2020 (Jacana Media), Stan's Frightful Halloween 2020 (Spork), Speedy Monkey 2019 (Stripes), The Real Farmer in the Dell 2019 (Spork), Wanda 2019 (Jacana Media), Mommy Loves You 2019 (Imagine That), The Singing Stone 2018 (Jacana Media).
