100+ of Your Favorite Illustrated Books
This giveaway for illustrated books is sponsored by Andrews McMeel Publishing, publisher of It’s All Absolutely Fine by Ruby Elliot.
It’s All Absolutely Fine is for anyone who struggles with not feeling absolutely fine. Tackling the not-so-simple subjects of depression, anxiety, and body image, Ruby’s unique, humorous, and brutally honest voice and eccentric illustrations will remind readers that they’re not alone—and that it’s okay to struggle and to talk about struggling.
Picture books, illustrated books, graphic novels–we love when art and the written word harmonize. We asked you to share your favorite illustrated books, and you responded.
