Midnight Magic Blog Tour - Art Extracts
Today is my stop on the 'Midnight Magic' blog tour and I am beyond excited to be sharing a little bit of awe and wonder with you all today! I feel very lucky to be offering you a glimpse at some of the illustration spreads that Elissa Elwick created for Midnight's journey and the earlier sketches which inspired them...
And here she is! Midnight is the third of three kittens that were born in a barn one very frosty night. Snowdrop and Foxy, the first two to be born were just like any other kittens - cute, cuddly and a little bit cheeky. But Midnight, well... Midnight it turns out is a little bit magic. This playful character will catch your heart immediately with her joy-filled eyes and love of adventure!
In these illustrations here, you're privy to my favourite moment in the book. The moment when Midnight feels happy and comfortable enough to reveal her true self to Trixie... Like the book's gorgeous colour scheme, Midnight manages to turn the entire bathroom purple - from its bubbles to its bath mats! And the best part here is that not only does Midnight feel safe enough in Trixie's company to share her magic with her, but Trixie is completely and utterly in love with this marvellous little creature - and she's also so up for a magical adventure too! (I'll let you discover the mischief that they get up to together yourselves... no spoiler alerts here 😊)
The whole story is written in rhyme which makes this early chapter book a delightfully speedy read and perfect for those children who are keen to try sharing a 'longer story' that happens to be devour-able in one sitting. And it goes without saying that this tale is entirely enchanting for any young fans of magic, cats (and happy endings!)
Wishing you all a magical weekend and 'happy reading'!
