The Tales of Belle Rose Cottage

Welcome to Belle Rose Cottage, where waffles fill the morning air, wildflowers dance in the meadow, and something rather wonderful happens when the grown-ups aren’t looking…
the toys come to life.

A warm, enchanting tale of friendship, imagination and the magic that lives in all of us, told through the eyes of two sisters who never quite forgot what it felt like to believe.

Written by Kirsty Ford and Illustrated by Abbie Darley

My role:

Character design, full book illustration including cover and end pages, and print-ready layout for this magical children’s story. From sketching the heartwarming inhabitants to finalising the typography and page composition, I brought Kirsty’s world of Belle Rose Cottage to life.
