Author: Cecilia Steyn • Illustrator: Elanie Bieldt
Format: Paperback
Recommended for ages 9+
Hoe-hoe-hoekom gaan al die uile dood?
Lea se ma is ’n veearts en haar pa is ’n diereregte-aktivis en joernalis. Om diere te red, is in haar bloed!
Daar is ’n probleem in Lea-hulle se dorp: die uile is besig om dood te gaan! Terwyl al Lea se maats net dink aan die opwindende nuwe restaurant wat oopgemaak het, probeer Lea en haar ouers uitvind wat die uile doodmaak.
Vinnig kom hulle agter: die dorp het ook ’n muisplaag en almal probeer van die muise ontslae raak! Is hierdie dinge dalk alles verbind, en wat kan Lea doen om al die diere te red?

About the Illustrator
Hi, my name is Elanie and I am a versatile illustrator and graphic designer with a keen eye for humour. I strive to create dynamic, authentic work to bring your ideas to life.
With an extensive background in children's book illustration, I am well-versed in designing for print, as well as digital mediums, and have worked with a broad range of clients, including large publishers like Lapa Uitgewers (a division of Penguin Random House South Africa), and numerous self-publishing authors.
I offer a flexible style that adapts to each brief's individual needs.
Originally from South Africa, I am now based in London.
I value authenticity and representation, creating a world where people, especially children, feel seen and accepted.
When illustrating children's books, I believe it is important cater for children of all backgrounds through characters that are relatable, funny, and uplifting.
My characters are almost aways a bit a bit squishy, a bit lanky, a bit disheveled, and unapologetically so.
On top of my illustration work, I enjoy creating hand-lettered typography, and designing layouts that are engaging and full of energy.
Being a fine artist first and foremost, I have worked extensively with traditional mediums such as acrylic painting, pastels, charcoal, graphite, etc.
In university I also experimented with silk screen printing and RISO printing.
This influence gives my work an organic feeling.
