Kriksis, I loved this video!! Congratulations on your beautiful book, all the illustrations look incredibly lovely. And seeing your process too was super enriching and inspiring! You really brought the characters and environments to life and I especially loved the end papers! :) Excited to see where this leads you!! xx

[@felishiarae332]

Very well done!! I loved looking through your sketch books and the final art pages. I particularly loved the first transformation scene and the under the bridge scene, so awesome! I loved that you also had to search American school classrooms, makes me curious what your classrooms looked like growing up! Anyway, great job! Would love to see some process videos of your illustrations too!

How to Teach a Troll to Read! Beautiful book and it was wonderful to see how you created those gorgeous spreads. Thank you for being so generous and sharing so much of your process.x.

How to Teach a Troll to Read...what a wonderful gift to be able to see your process and hear you describe it as you go. Very helpful information and your illustrations are beautiful! My favorite spread is hands down the night scene (transformation) of the boy sitting beside the little river under the bridge looking at the sky. So dreamy and moving. 💖

Hi Kriksis, congratulations on the book- I LOVE it :) and thank you for sharing this video I’ve enjoyed it very much. Tbh I think the author should’ve followed your text placement, you’re the artist and you know what you’re doing. At some places the text just ruined the beautiful artwork 😟
