Book Illustrations of Anne

 I came across these stunning images by artist Ji-Hyuk Kim this morning. These are beautiful interpretations of Anne's story that I am thrilled many children will come to know Anne by. Anne's story needs to be handed down to the next generation and it's wonderful to see that she still inspires us today. Honestly, I have been thinking about her era and the simplicity and beauty of it. Lucy Montgomery has captured the magic of the time and the island and also the nuances of the natural world that she noticed in her lifetime in Green Gables. Life wasn't perfect, in fact, it deals with many hard things such as being an orphan. But life is meant to be experienced deeply and Anne did. So should we.
