Description

With just a few lines and strokes, picture books hold whole worlds: joy and sorrow, memory and wonder. They can be stark, fun and beautiful, all at once.

This week on The Art Show, we're celebrating the picture book as a subtle, serious art form — where image meets poetry and artists speak, not just to children, but to the child still inside us.

Illustrator and writer Tull Suwannakit, Wiradjuri artist, writer and poet, Jazz Money, and artist and painter Jason Phu take us into their worlds.
