Dorota Rewerenda

Dorota Rewerenda – Designer

A passionate children's book illustrator bringing stories to life for 15+ years :)

Overview

Over the past 15 years I had a privilege to illustrate 27 children's books (with another 2 on the way!) both in my native Poland while working for bigger publishers and most recently worldwide - helping first time writers to make their dreams come true and see their characters alive on pages of the book.

Here's what one of my clients had to say about our work together:

“Working with Dorota on my first picture book, THE SEMICOLON, was such a rewarding experience! I was initially drawn to Dorota’s work not only because of her obvious skill as an artist, but her ability to think outside the box and bring abstract ideas to life through her art, which she did for my story with terrific attention to detail and sensitivity to its difficult themes. She immediately and intuitively understood my vision for the book with very little direction. Dorota brought a ton of creative ideas to the project and the final product exceeded my expectations – I can’t wait to share our hard work with the world!” — Britt Sayler, author of The Semicolon

If you enjoyed my artwork and wonder how the process of making a picture book looks like, just drop me a message and I will be happy to answer all your questions.
