Overview:

Monkey Baa presents Drawing Words commissioned by British Council and curated by Lauren Child. The exhibition brings together some of the most exciting children’s book illustration to come out of the UK in recent years.

While Peter Rabbit, Paddington Bear and Winnie the Pooh are universally recognised and demonstrate the rich history of children’s book illustration in the UK, Drawing Words looks to the future.

The exhibition features 10 amazing illustrators from across the UK whose work makes an important and original contribution to contemporary British picture book illustration – a snapshot of a vibrant and flourishing sector.

The exhibition is curated by award-winning artist, writer and the 2017-2019 UK Children’s Laureate, Lauren Child, and designed by the innovative Etcetera Studio with graphic design by Regular Practice.
