Maria Ryazantseva
Every children's book is a little door into a new world, unexplored, special, and mysterious. It is self-sufficient and may not withstand rough interference, breaking and closing shut. Therefore, I see my mission in using illustrations and the «visual direction» of the book to create a buffer of imagination, preparing the reader to perceive the vibrations of the text. My dream is to fuse the illustrations into the story so deeply that the reader lives through the book and remembers its entire essence, creating a happy memory, much like the memory of a dear friend.
