ERWIN MADRID, ILLUSTRATOR

A Message from the Illustrator

As a children’s book illustrator, it’s always a pleasure to be able to create imaginative worlds for beautifully written books that inspire kids to pursue their dreams and educate them about life lessons. It was an honor and a pleasure to work with Tiffany on My Yellow Balloon because of the complicated and important message that the book explains with grace.
