Tim Zeltner has created this beautifully atmospheric illustration that transports one right into the scene in his trademark style. The characters are both primitively whimsical and yet the story is so real! This image always brings a smile to my face.
Here's hoping your Halloween is sufficiently scary + abundant with treats!

You won't want to miss this beautiful 32 page picture book written by Stephen Wunderli and illustrated by Tim Zeltner, (published by Henry Holt and Co)! According to a review by the critically acclaimed KIRKUS: "Zeltner’s lush illustrations created with paint, glazes and stains on wood shine with gentle charm..." Little Boo tells the story of a tiny pumpkin seed who really has a hankerin' to grow up and be the scariest Jack-O-Lantern on Halloween night! He wants to be able to say "BOO!" And really "Scare YOU!". Also reviewed on YouTube by TTPM. For more delightful illustrations from Tim Zeltner check out his portfolio here.
The perfect Halloween gift for a wee one in your life! Order your very own copy.

Can you relate to this narrative? Check out more of Katy's fun illustrations and hand lettering here.
