Joe Lillington Illlustrates Wild Journey!
Joe Lillington takes us on a global story with Wild Journey, a brand-new story collection by A.M. Dassu that follows five children across five countries on one big adventure.
In this moving, action-packed book, each child’s story intersects with the migration path of starlings, evoking themes of hope, connection and discovery from Egypt to Morocco, across Spain, France and England. Joe Lillington has a breath-taking talent for depicting young characters in the stories he illustrates, with warmth and an intuitive, inclusive and joyful motion. The combination of his line-work and atmospheric use of monochrome with burnt-orange highlights lend an emotional depth and nostalgic feel to their journeys. The illustrations don’t just accompany the text, they tell the story alongside it.
Published by Zephyr (Bloomsbury), Wild Journey is a true creative triumph - every page brims with detail, empathy, and a gentle, sweeping sense of movement.
