What are you going to give, a Boxy Girl? Come on. Give art.

Recently updated and expanded for the 2018 gift-giving season, here is my collection of children’s literature illustrator shops on the world wide web.

This isn’t a comprehensive list – let me hear about what I missed in the comments, and I will add to it.
