10 African Children's Illustrators To Know

Okayafrica highlights 10 African Children's Illustrators to Know from the new wave of illustrators, designers and animators.


Late last year Ghana-based pan-African literary organization Golden Baobab introduced us to a shortlist of talented illustrators, whose work ranged from 3-D Ashanti folktales to intricately drawn Moroccan cityscapes and African barbershop-inspired murals in Durban. Awarded in November, the inaugural Golden Baobab Prize for African Illustrators was one of the foundation's six prizes recognizing the year's best African writers and illustrators of children's stories. In the following pages, we highlight ten of Golden Baobab's finalists from the new wave of illustrators, designers and animators from across the continent.
