Shelf is a biannual magazine celebrating picture book matters, because picture books matter!

----------

SHELF was founded in 2024 by illustrator & owner of the picture book shop Shelf Editions, Helen Hancocks, as a love letter to the art of the picture book and to broaden the coverage they receive.

Through its pages and the website we hope that we can shine a spotlight on authors, illustrators, the industry and the market as a whole as well as treating picture books as an art form deserving of criticism and focus.

Issue 1 was a collaborative project with Amy Gerrish of Sunny Side Up Marketing.
