Famous illustrators

There are lots of illustrators but not many of them are famous. Everyone enjoys books but most people who read books do not pay attention to the photos on the front cover and pages throughout the book. Most books have pages on the front but only picture books have photos throughout the book. While the author gets lots of recognition illustrators get less of that popularity. Illustrators work very hard as well. Some of the most famous artists are Quentin Blake, Malika Favre, and finally Maurice Sendak. All of these amazing illustrators put a great effect on the books they helped illustrate. So many kids enjoy the pictures made by these amazing people.
