european picture books - les moindres petites choses

This is the other book that I picked up by Belgian illustrator, Anne Herbauts. It's called Les moindres petites choses and it's absolutely lovely. The book is designed so that the pages on the right side fold open to change the 2 page spread into a 3 page spread.

Here's a 2 page spread:

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 have another book that she illustrated to show tomorrow.
