SHELF – Issue 3 has landed, and it’s bigger (and juicier) than ever. The indie magazine for kidlit lovers returns with its most expansive issue yet, led by a striking cover and in- depth interview with artist Dasha Tolstikova. Inside, you’ll find a thoughtful mix of conversations, features, and deep dives into the picture book world. There are spotlights on Enchanted Lion Books, Rise Raise Riso, and Doremi Books, reflections on AI and its place in children’s publishing, and a playful, perceptive look at Charlotte Durance and the art of play. You’ll also find Ella Beech and Lauren O’Hara in conversation, a feature on Mini Grey and Iron Man, and a profile of illustrator David Roberts, alongside plenty of reviews and discoveries along the way. Carefully put together, deeply curious, and made for readers who love the craft behind picture books, SHELF Issue 3 is a joy to linger over — whether picture books are your profession, your passion, or both.
