In Galápagos Islands: The World’s Living Laboratory, the scenes teem with life, utilising a rich palette and painterly feel to help make the topics understandable and exciting. Amy said:
“I found it super interesting learning how the different islands had such a big impact on the features of each animal, such as the shape and colour of the tortoises shells. Also that there is a type of finch that drinks blood, Vampire Finches!”
FRANCES CASTLE ILLUSTRATES ANIMALS IN WARTIME
The Imperial War Museum’s new colouring book featuring over 25 beautiful hand-drawn scenes by Frances celebrates the amazing stories of how our animal friends have helped humans throughout wartime.
Did you know that over 16 million animals served during the First World War alone? 250,000 pigeons helped deliver important messages during the Second World War! Dogs’ abilities to sniff out hidden mines and to locate wounded people on the battlefield, or bombed out houses have made them invaluable during wartime. Since ancient times animals have helped humans in marvellous ways, showing their incredible bravery, strength and loyalty.
“You can’t help but be enthralled by the stories behind these heroic animals and the unbelievable situation they embarked on, managing to project their characters in simple line drawing has been a fascinating challenge,” said Frances, whose eye-catching and graphic style is perfect for this project.
This is Frances Castle’s second colouring book collaboration with the Imperial War Museum, following on from their World War Two Planes Colouring Book, published in 2023. She’s also illustrated other projects for them including their EXPLORE! A Kid’s Guide to the IWM London.
Frances Castle is represented by Arena Illustration.
