Gillian McClure has illustrated an art book for young children written by Mary Arrigan. Here are images from Mario’s Angels, published by Frances Lincoln; a picture book about Giotto, ‘the father of European painting,’ working on his fresco of the Nativity.

‘Gillian McClure’s cleverly composed illustrations move and have life, with lovely colours echoing the fresco painter’s art.’ School Librarian.

‘Gillian McClure’s delightful illustrations reveal what made Giotto di Bondone’s work so special.’ Primary Focus Fiction.
