Originally from Korea, IL SUNG NA studied illustration at Kingston University in London.
A Book of Sleep was his first picture book, followed by
The Thingamabob; Snow Rabbit, Spring Rabbit; and
Hide & Seek.
Kirkus starred review, November 15, 2013 “Sweet, stimulating illustrations offer up baby basics for bedtime.”
The New York Times Book Review“If the Seoul-born artist Il Sung Na hasn’t already charmed you with
Hide & Seek and
A Book of Sleep, his latest book . . . will probably do the trick.”
The Boston Globe
“Il Sung Na’s illustrative art is so joyous, so jubilantly colorful, it feels celebratory and poetic even when the story is simple and spare.”
