Original children’s book illustration for indie authors

Puflibooks is an illustration agency for first-time authors and home to incredibly talented children’s book artists. We create colorful, captivating artwork for picture books—where emotional authenticity matters more than exact realism.

Since 2013 we create narrative-driven artwork for self-publishing authors in the USA who want their children's picture books to inspire and educate young readers worldwide.

From character personality conceptualization, to on-demand publishing platforms. Our creative process is specifically designed to guide and support first-time authors.
