STEVEN SALERNO ILLUSTRATION: THE FANTASTIC FERRIS WHEEL

July 27, 2015

Steven Salerno's latest children's book illustration project recently garnered STARRED reviews from both Kirkus Reviewsand the School Library Journal. "The Fantastic Ferris Wheel," out this fall from Henry Holt & Co, tells the true life story of George Ferris, inventor of the first giant observation wheel, constructed in 1893 for the World's Fair in Chicago.

“Including the research and sketch stage, and completing the cover art too, the total time it took me to complete all the art for this picture book was approximately a little over nine months,” says Steven. View his entire process here.
