  • Maria is illustrating the books Sophie and the Brightest Star and The Haunted House of Animals!

    Maria is an illustrator and children’s psychologist from Ukraine. She was born in Kiev and started her career working with children and drawing books for them at the same time. Double background in art and psychology gives her a wider perspective on illustration itself and especially on children’s illustration.

    To understand a child, one needs to take a look at the world from the child’s perspective. Our goal as adults and as human beings is to help our children develop to his or her best potential, to show different perspectives and to teach them curiosity and critical thinking. That’s exactly what children’s books are doing!
