To celebrate National Shakespeare Day, we are thrilled to reveal the cover of the second book in our series of Shakesbearean Tales 🎭 🐻

With clever, engaging text by @louiestowell and beautiful, detailed illustrations by @isobel_lundie_illustration, The Tantrum is a picture book about meltdowns and bawling bards!

Bill Bear and his friends are staging a new play in their woodland theatre, The Glade, but when things go wrong, Bill throws a full-blown tantrum! Parents everywhere will identify with his friends as they try to calm him down and persuade him that the show must go on.

Coming October 2024!

🎭 A Midsummer Night’s Drama Takeover 🎭

Hello! It’s @louiestowell here and I’m taking over the Little Tiger Instagram account for #ShakespeareDay!

I love all the little details Isobel's created in A Midsummer Night’s Drama, from the visual lecture Sir Bun Bun is giving Bill, to the chaotic pile of bunk beds on the right. The text was inspired by parent friends who have to essentially con their children into going to bed. I love it in stories when there's a gap between what the reader knows and what the character knows - Bill doesn't know he's being tricked but we do.

A Midsummer Night's Drama is out now!

🎭 A Midsummer Night’s Drama Takeover 🎭

Hi it’s Isobel (@isobel_lundie_illustration), I thought I’d share some of the early sketches and development from A Midsummer Night's Drama by @louiestowell. It’s been really nice for me to look back to see how my scrawling sketches transform into finished artwork.

For this project, the characters are larger than life and needed witty little quirks and oddities to give them the charm I imagined when reading Louie’s manuscript. I spent a fair amount of time looking at Elizabethan clothing and interiors before making a stab at the roughs. The Queen Bee for instance is supposed to be Queen Elizabeth the 1st so I spent some time transforming her traditional gown into a bee suit, fully equipped with a ruffle and strings of pearls.

I hope you can see by flicking through these images how rough my layouts start out as. I like working quickly so I can get all my ideas out of my brain before they disappear, and it also makes me less precious to changes from wise designers like Emma. Once thumbnails are approved or discussed I work into them to create something with a lot more detail before finally making the final artwork by drawing in pencils and scanning it in.

A Midsummer Night's Drama is out now!
