Thank you explaining how you made a color palette! While I hadn't thought of that consciously, my last book did all take place in the ocean, so the colors did work out well. Is your book only eight spreads because it is for very young children?
Hi Suzanna! Yes, it's a board book so they tend to be much shorter. The last few I've done have all been 8 spreads, but sometimes a board book is as short as 5 spreads.
Your ocean book sounds great, it can be so colourful under the sea!
Thanks Susannah! Once I’ve handed over the illustrations the designer makes everything look so much better! It was exciting to see the final book and all the different print finishes and textures!
I always love reading about peoples processes. They vary so much, and it’s so interesting to read how you tackled visual problems. It is always such random things that make us take a step back and really have to think. Great read as always Nanette!
This book look beautiful!
Thank you so much Ane! x

The book looks wonderful! And thank you so much for describing your process!
Thank you so much Dunja! I'm so happy you enjoyed seeing the process too!
Thank you - it’s lovely to hear and see your process. It makes you realise how much work goes into a picture book.
Ahhh, thanks Vanessa! Before I did this job I didn’t realise a whole team goes into making a book!
Aw! This is so sweet
And I love how you share about your processes.
Exciting to not totally know what the extra bits will look like until the big reveal! 🥂 🎄🍾Congratulations on another great little book!
