A Good Children's Story

February 09, 2016 by Joanne Chan

We at ILLUSTORIA couldn't agree more with the message of this quote. Our aim is to share stories, art, comics, interviews, book reviews, music playlists, and activities that can be equally enjoyed by kids and the young at heart. 

This lovely illustration is by the talented Elizabeth Haidle, our extraordinary creative director. Visit her at ehaidle.com.

On this lovely #EarthDay, might we recommend some music to listen to while you’re composting, recycling or watering your plants? 🌵Mort Garson’s “Mother Earth Plantasia” is a hypnotic space-age album made specifically for plants & their owners to groove to. 🌿 Found in Issue 4: Grow, On Our Playlist 🌳 Hope you have a great Earth Day! 🌏 . #illustoria #plantasia #mortgarson #plants
A favorite spread from #8: The Home Issue, a collaboration btwn @caseformaking and @lindsayvictorialee for the ongoing A Brief History of Color series. This series is truly beautiful, thought-provoking, and inspiring—just like its creators. We cannot imagine Illustoria mags without Alexis and Lindsay and the passion these two talented ladies bring to their work and art. 💙💙💙

“Home Is Wherever You Go,” by @jessezhangart, opens The Home Issue and sets the tone for all that is to come: a collection of stories, reflections, creative interpretations, and activities with “home” at the center. We were touched to find that the many varied and heartfelt contributions were at once inherently personal and beautifully universal. . . . #home #issue8 #illustoria #kidlit #jessezhangart #indiemags #visualstorytelling
