This piece was created by Sophie Benn for the poem ‘Tell Me Tiger’, by Clare Bevan. The children’s poem centres around habitat loss and the current environmental crisis. Benn layered hand painted paper to create this beautiful collage artwork and used a hand carved font, printed in ink, for the text. The illustration includes small clues alluding to the poem, perfect for younger children to find and break down, making this piece a thought-provoking companion to Bevan’s work.
