Stacey Byer
Grenada
The illustration titled "Reo's Shark Adventure" is about a little boy’s imagination. It was inspired by Stacey's little cousin Reo who adores sharks and was created for a story Stacey developed, Reo’s Shark Adventure, which she hopes to publish one day. The illustration "Reading Is Magic" captures the power of storytelling – that reading is magic. The little girl is enjoying her story so much, even the fireflies decide to pitch in!
Stacey on what Caribbean children’s illustration means to her:
"Caribbean children’s illustration has always been unique because of its rich cultural influences. I love that I can contribute to this area by drawing on my own childhood memories while putting a contemporary spin on things. I look forward to producing illustrations that can be faithful to this background but able to make that crossover to international markets."
