    🌸 Hoppy Easter from the Izzy & Jack team! 🌺
    Isn’t this bunny just the sweetest? This little character hopped straight out of Sam Squirrel’s Adventures — a charming children’s book series by author Dawn Hough, beautifully brought to life by our in-house illustrator Izzy Bean.

    At Izzy & Jack, we believe great illustrations aren’t just decoration — they’re part of the storytelling magic. Whether it’s a curious rabbit, a mischievous squirrel, or a world entirely your own, our illustrations help stories bloom.

    Wishing all our authors, readers and future storytellers a joyful Easter filled with colour, creativity and plenty of chocolate eggs! 🐣💜
