european picture books - la princesse au petit poids

I'm so inspired by the illustrator of this book. Her name is Anne Herbauts, she's Belgian, and this book is called La princesse au petit poids. I fell in love with the cover when I saw it. Anne Herbauts' drawing style is so loose and unique. I love how she uses a variety of techniques, including some sort of stamping to create patterns. Really beautiful.

I don't have Prince Silencio yet, but the other two books of hers that I did get are really nice. She's very talented.
