Two of Some of my Favorite Children Book Illustrators

The dynamic duo known as Janet and Anne Grahame Johnstone, two twin sisters that worked on the illustrations together.  Janet Johnstone (1 June 1928 – 20 January 1979) and Anne Grahame Johnstone (1 June 1928 – 25 May 1998).   I absolutely adore their big headed children and the way they illustrated hair.  I most especially love the way they portrayed Jesus Christ!

 

One of the other favorites of mine is Gordon Laite (1925 – 1978).  I also especially love the way he illustrated Jesus Christ.  All three of these illustrators had such a light whimsical touch to their artistry while at the same time providing an incredible amount of fantastical detail.
