✨NEW WORK✨ I had so much fun illustrating this busy kawaii library scene for French publisher Auzou Éditions! 📚💕 It’s a detailed search-and-find adventure packed with cute characters, cosy reading corners, and magical bookish chaos! 🐱🔍✨ 
Look closely—you might spot a sneaky cat, a flying book, or a tea party in the stacks! ☕🐰📖 This was a dream project combining everything I love: storytelling, tiny details, and a touch of whimsy. 
Perfect for fans of kawaii art, children’s books, and seek-and-find puzzles! 🌟 
🖌️ Illustrated by me 📖 Published by @editionsauzou 🇫🇷 Available in bookstores across France

🌧🦊☔ On a rainy day, kindness makes all the difference…  Here’s a little moment between a fox and a caterpillar that made my heart smile. I love creating gentle, whimsical scenes that speak to friendship, empathy, and imagination — the kind of magic that brings children’s stories to life. 
If you’re a publisher or author looking for a children’s book illustrator who can add warmth and storytelling to your pages, I’d love to connect! 🧡📚
