INDIA'S LITTLE ILLUSTRATORS
eShe
|December 2020
These Indian children were among the 34 child illustrators who won the chance to be featured in JK Rowling’s new book, The Ickabog
-
The creator of the Harry Potter series, JK Rowling had the idea for The Ickabog over a decade ago. She would make up chapters to read out to her two younger children as bedtime stories. But the book ended up in her attic as she began work on a book for adults.
Then, Covid struck. Realising how hard the lockdown was for children in particular, Rowling brought out the Ickabog stories from her attic and serialised it for free online to entertain children.
Soon, the Ickabog illustration competition contest was launched for children age seven to 12. Over 18,000 entries poured in from India, UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. Thirty-four winners, including eight from India, now have their illustrations in the new exquisite hardback edition of The Ickabog (Hachette India, ₹1299). Five little illustrators from India tell us about their Ickabog experience.
