Rookie Books is an independent publishing house based in Basel, Switzerland, specializing in children’s books designed by visual artists.
For her Rookie Book, Rachel Harrison draws inspiration from Hans Holbein’s 500-year-old portraits of King Henry VIII and his court. In Hold Still, Henry! she vividly brings these historical sitters back to life, through a series of vivid drawings that invite readers to meet the Tudors anew in a contemporary light.
