One of my desires as a child was to have an illustrated children's book with gorgeous art-gallery standard illustrations and descriptive paragraphs for each depicted scene. I remember reading a few children's books in my library which touched me deeply due to the intelligent and whimsical writing style as well as the evocative artwork that just took your imagination away to another world. I remember one example of an excellent illustrator(K.Y. Craft) who did several illustrations for children's books (Example 1) (Example 2) and I was very impressed with the quality even today. It's thanks to illustrators like her that I'm very indifferent towards the quality of animated films like Disney movies today.
