Handcrafted worlds of wonder

Welcome to the colourful world of NBarnard Books' illustrations! Each image is lovingly crafted by hand using mixed media, bringing stories to life with vibrant characters and engaging scenes. Discover the magic within our pages and see how we make learning an adventure.

Bright and colourful characters

Our illustrations are designed to captivate young minds with bright colours and friendly characters. We believe in creating visuals that spark imagination and make learning fun. If you are looking for bright and colourful child friendly characters, you've come to the right place!

First aid, doesn't need to be scary

Our illustrations are designed to help children learn what to do in an emergency in a supportive environment. By showing first aid scenarios in a friendly and approachable way, we aim to empower children to take action and help others when it matters most. Our hope is that first aid is not scary, and children can help in an emergency if they know what to do.

Mixed media magic

Each illustration begins with a hand-drawn sketch and is brought to life using a variety of mixed media techniques. Watercolours, acrylic, coloured pencils, and pens come together to create unique and textured artwork that you won't find anywhere else. Our illustrations are done by hand using mixed media and a lot of love!
