Best books to learn Children's book illustration, in order

Illustrating for children is storytelling in pictures, so a path builds toward the book, not just the drawings. Start with character design and creating figures that carry emotion across many pages, then visual storytelling — pacing, page turns, and how image and text share the work — then the practical craft of dummies, submissions, and getting published. Learn to draw the character, then to tell the story, then to sell the book.
