Introducing the whacky world of Manchester-based artist & fresh new talent, Daniel Nelson!
Lemon-headed people & mythical creatures in modern-day settings are just some of the delights to discover in Daniel’s unique portfolio – and we just love his limited colour palette coupled with bold line work & pattern.
Bringing his love of folklore to contemporary life, Daniel creates striking visuals, full of wit, charm & humour.
‘Girl Giant and the Monkey King’ illustrated by Quang & Lien is a fantastic tale packed with magic, adventure, and middle-school woes.
The story focuses on Thom Ngo, a 12-year-old Vietnamese girl who is in high school in America. She sets out on a journey through Vietnamese folklore and mythology while simultaneously juggling school life and her relationship with her mother.
Containing themes of racism, belonging, identity, and inter-generational differences, this captivating fantasy tale is available from Roaring Brook Press / Macmillan from November.
Freya Hartas has illustrated ‘The Princess Who Flew With Dragons’, a magical third adventure written by Stephanie Burgis. Available this August from Bloomsbury.
