Many months ago I was contacted by the lovely art director at The Little Lutheran and The Little Christian magazines to do an assignment for them. I admit that at the time I had never heard of either publication, but as soon as I received a copy of the magazine I knew I was holding something special.

These two publications are identical, and are geared towards very young kiddos – age 6 and under.  Like a book, the magazine is small and sturdy, and the format of it is perfect for little hands.  The images they choose are sweet, and the stories and articles are playful and supportive at the same time.  It’s a wonderful publication, and working with their art director was a joy.  As a plus, I love the typography they paired with my illustrations!

These two illustrations are for a piece they ran in this month’s issue called “Henry Played Church,” which told the story of Henry Muhlenberg.  The opportunity to draw barn animals and historical costumes all at the same time gave the promise of fun research, and left me a very happy illustrator.  Many thanks to Amber for choosing me for this article!
