It's that time to wrap up our final children's book images. Again what we are looking for is a reinterpretation of what was created before. What this means is that you read the text, and create a new image based upon what the book makes you think and feel.
There are a lot of ways of looking at the same thing. Maurice Sendack's Where the Wild Things Are is a wonderful story, but has more than one way it can be looked at.
Visually it has been explored by film and children's books and will continue to be so.
However, many people have personalized this book because it had a special meaning. As culture and time pass so does meaning and interpretation. It is important the newer work reflect this. This is why you see older stories reinterpreted all the time. Here are some examples of reinterpretations of Where the Wild Things Are.
All of these have a much more modern feel so how are you transforming your story to reflect you? How does your interpretation reflect your audience?
