WishingAnimalsBook-4
Wishing Animals is a tender picture book for young children, where charming animals arrive to bring joy and warmth. Some carry gifts, others hang baubles, and each one brings a heartfelt wish—for peace, play, closeness, or courage. The illustrations are soft, colorful, and atmospheric, combining traditional sketches with digital color. Filled with subtle details and gentle humor, the book delights both children and adults.
It’s a story about giving, celebrating, and the quiet magic hidden in simple gestures.

About the illustrator
I was born in Warsaw and all of my closest relatives come from here. I don’t come from an artistic family, but my family have certainly had a huge impact on what I am doing right now. I have always been surrounded by pictures, papers, clay, gypsum, pencils, paints and fine-tip felt pens. I’ve always had many hobbies; I discovered each of them thanks to my parents. I started by attending a visual arts high school in Warsaw, then I graduated from Academy of Art in Łódź with a diploma of Product Design Studio. I’m an illustrator and visual storyteller with a background in children’s books, editorial projects, and creative collaborations. I work both traditionally and digitally, combining delicate lines with bold concepts. My work often explores themes of connection, imagination, and the everyday magic hidden in small moments. I’m passionate about creating illustrations that spark curiosity and emotion—whether on a page, a wall, or a product.
