The art in these picture books is so beautiful - I’m thoroughly impressed. Just the aesthetic of these books makes us all quite happy.

Both of these books come from the independent publishing company @redpaperkite in Perth, Australia, and I absolutely love what they are doing. A lot of care is being put into the entire package of these very special books.

I also very much enjoy seeing the consistencies there are among books they have published - even with different authors and illustrators. I particularly love the consistent, beautiful aesthetic of the art style we’ve seen in their books so far. And each book also includes blank drafts of the illustrations to be used as coloring pages. Suffice it to say - the love shown for art is clear with Red Paper Kite.

Miss Eliza Flowerdew Can Nearly Touch the Ceiling is framed around the concept that you are supposed to get taller as you get older, so the 99-year-old lady next door probably can touch the ceiling by now, right? And The Lost Moustache is about just what it sounds like - and it reads kind of like Are You My Mother? - except someone is trying to return a moustache they found.

Personally I like the touching relationship that starts between the little girl and the 99-year-old Eliza Flowerdew the most - but my daughter is more enamored with the thought of a cat having a moustache in the Lost Moustache.

Make sure to check out some of these illustrations by swiping right. We’ll definitely be keeping an eye on what comes next from this company. Thanks @redpaperkite for sharing these two with us they’re just beautiful.
