Illustrating the Tomtes with Brenda Tyler

Earlier in the year, the Floris office was treated to a very special visit from Brenda Tyler, author-illustrator of our beautiful Hilltop picture book series.
Brenda popped in to work with our design team on illustrations for her new Hilltop book, The Tomtes of Hilltop Stream, and we were lucky enough to catch her in action! Watch our video below to see Brenda add the finishing touches to her watercolour spreads. As you’ll see, Emily, Jamie and Lichen are working hard to clean Hilltop Stream…
And if you enjoyed that, we’ve also put some lovely pictures from the day up on Pinterest.
About The Tomtes of Hilltop Stream
Emily and Jamie live near Hilltop Wood. Through Hilltop Wood runs Hilltop Stream, and the two children love to splash and play in its clear water. One day, they discover the stream has become dark and dirty, and the otter they used to see has gone. What can they do?
This is the third enchanting story about Jamie and Emily’s helpful Tomte friends, who help them make the stream sparkle again. But will the otter return?
