Book your magic in advance! 🎨📚

✨I am Kseniia, a children's book illustrator whose journey began in 2016. My passion for storytelling was born in childhood, when my grandmother would tell me fascinating stories from her life before bedtime. These moments taught me to see beauty in ordinary things and feel how stories can touch hearts-a sensibility I bring to every illustration I create.

✨My Illustration Focus

My illustration work centers on meaningful, real-life themes approached with care, sensitivity, and emotional depth. I specialize in children’s books that support families and children through important life experiences.

Medical journeys, including cleft lip and palate experiences, NICU and premature birth journeys, childhood surgeries, and stories about medicine, healing, and hope.

Family challenges and resilience, such as a mother’s cancer journey seen through a child’s eyes, supporting parents during difficult periods, helping families process illness and change, and stories about foster care, adoption, and unconditional acceptance.

Social-emotional learning, including self-regulation and managing big emotions, friendship, empathy, kindness, dyslexia awareness, and understanding the importance of rest and sleep.

Belonging and compassion, with stories about friendship, helping others in need, children experiencing housing instability, and finding a sense of home, safety, and full acceptance.

Environmental awareness and care for nature, including stories addressing forest fires and their impact, the importance of growing vegetables, respecting the land, and nurturing a connection to the natural world.

Faith and values, such as discovering the meaning of Hanukkah, learning about the Sabbath, and gentle introductions to spiritual traditions.

Across all of these themes, my work emphasizes imagination and emotional growth - helping children turn challenges into strength, fear into courage, and storms into rainbows.

✨Recent projects include The Sparkle You Carry, a gentle and whimsical story supporting children with cleft lip and palate through medical journeys, courage, and resilience. This book reflects my focus on emotionally supportive storytelling that helps children feel seen and understood

✨Working with me means a true partnership where your story comes first. I create illustrations that do more than just show what's happening-they add feeling and depth to your words. I pay attention to the little details that make a big difference, helping your book connect with readers in a meaningful way.
