‘A wisp of silence drifted between them…’ Sometimes it Rains by @rachelbrightbooks and me is out today! It’s an incredible story and it’s been an incredible journey to bring it to life. Every page was crafted and shaped, pushed and pulled until it was the perfect fit. Here’s the evolution of just one of them from first sketch to finished spread. So much of the credit must go to @goldy.broad.design who knew exactly what to say and do and when to say and do it! Sometimes it Rains is available from today with the wonderful @hachettechildrens x

Fascinating to see the development of the illustration, of the gentle colours and characters that complement the sensitive thoughts and words of the text.
