Illustrations are Visual representation of vision, thoughts, concepts and stories created by the magical fingers and capabilities to understand the depth of the story. Illustrations successfully communicated the author's feelings, emotions and text in a magical way to young minds. Art of Illustration is not limited to one style, there are various styles from digital to Whimsical, realistic to semi realistic and hand painted watercolor, all these depend on the spirit of the story, author vision and the targeted young minds. If we talk about the originality of the Illustrations then it’s not a new concept, it has been used from the centuries to communicate feelings and emotions and since then it has become an integral part of the literature to communicate the feelings and to better understand the depth of context.
When it comes to children's book authors, it becomes critical to convey the story content in the form of artwork to keep the young mind engaged and learn the depth of the concept that the author wants to convey through the story . Kids love colors, magical characters, imagination and fun loving elements and these elements organically attract their attention to the book and it becomes easy to understand the concept and also stimulate the critical thinking and imaginative power of the young minds hence illustration becomes essential for children books as they influence the kids in a very positive way.

I was wondering what to expect since I had been disappointed with other publishing companies and didn’t want to invest any more money into illustrating and publishing another book. But I was very interested in getting my story illustrated and published because my story, “Little Gypsy Dandelion,” has been in my heart for many years. After communicating with Melissa through LinkedIn, I was impressed with Daisyblue publishing. I felt I had finally been led to the right company.
Daisyblue publishing services brought my story to life, and in the illustrations, my thoughts of how the story should be were visualized.
The professionalism and expertise in producing a published book for me to cherish were achieved.
My thanks to all who were involved, and may we see success in the coming months. I look forward to working with you on other projects.

This is the first time that I, representing an author, have worked with Daisy Blue Publishing. I came across them by accident and thought I would give them a try. I was not disappointed. They managed to create draft sketches based on the storyline and the suggestions given as to what was required, with very little effort. The images were produced within the time limits set and the cost was very reasonable. With only one very minor amendment, done quickly, the result overall has been a working relationship that has been agreeable and satisfactory. Both myself and the author are delighted with the finished look of the coloured images and are now awaiting the launch of the book, a first for this author. I am also looking forward to working with this company again in the near future.
