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.

With thanks to Amy Gerrish of Sunny Side Up Marketing, for help on Issue 1.
