I love the illustrations from "My Mother Gave Me the Moon" as well as "Dreams for my Daughter". They are both Illustrated by Becky Kelly who left a job at Hallmark after her son was born to become a freelance illustrator.

I'm beginning to become a big fan of Jan Brett. Sometimes it's hard to turn the page!

I also love Kazuno Kohara, who did Ghosts in the House! (http://www.amazon.com/Ghosts-House-Kazuno-Kohara/dp/1596434279) and Here Comes Jack Frost.

Chris Van Alsbeg books have amazing illustrations (albeit with somewhat creepy stories ;)).

I'm partial to elaborate painting type illustrations. Kinuko Y. Craft is one of my favorites. www.kycraft.com (http://www.kycraft.com) My DD and I have spent lengthy periods of time looking at her illustrations in The Twelve Dancing Princesses. :love-retry:

For warm & cuddly I like John Butler or the Bear books from Karma Wilson with Jane Chapman as the illustrator.

I also enjoy Jan Brett. My absolute favorite has to be Elsa Beskow.

I am a fan of Marla Frazee (illustrated "Everywhere Babies", "The Seven Silly Eaters", and the Clementine novels).
