🎄🐦I am sharing another Christmas book I've worked on. This one is called "Eddie's Christmas Wish".
"Year after year, he watches trees bigger than him get chosen. Will Eddie ever get his wish, will he finally find the home he has been dreaming of?"

Merry December #kidlitpostcard day!
I'm Gabby, a children's book illustrator from Cape Town, South Africa, where Christmas holidays aren't spent drinking hot chocolate by the fire place, but rather, eating ice cream at the beach.

🎄 Can you believe it's December already???
The festive spirit is in the air. Christmas shopping, decorating and overeating on delicious deserts. (That last one might just be me 😅)
Lunchtime Smorgasbord Christmas Cookie Showdown 🍪 is now available on Amazon.

A little bit late this month but... here is my #kidlitartpostcard for November 2025.
I'm excited to announce that Saving Sir Stud Muffin by Nicole Loy is now available on Amazon! This was such a fun book to work on, and my first book with a cat as a main character.

Illo Agency Art Challenge invites you to explore themes of diversity, culture, and identity through illustration. The first prompt for September was "Everyday Magic". This is my interpretation 😊
