Still More YoungCanLit Illustrators: List IV

In 2013, 2015 and 2017,  I prepared lists of Canadian illustrators whose artwork featured prominently in books for children.  In nine lists over three years, I covered over 150 artists.  But there are more and more every day. Some I've missed (how did I miss Jan Thornhill?) and some who are new to illustrating books for young people. Here's hoping this makes my ever-growing Who's Who of Canadian illustrators more complete. I should note that, although there are artists whose work has been used to illustrate one or more picture books, notably William Kurelek, Robert Bateman and Carol Evans, I have not included them here. Instead I've chosen to emphasize those who have been commissioned to create original artwork for picture books.

If you're interested in the illustrators previously recognized, here are their names with the links to the posts:

    1. It is! I won’t be surprised if I need to update it again in another couple of years.
