Press & Accolades  

“[A] beautifully produced print magazine that invites young readers to revisit arresting pages again and again . . . Illustoria is a visual feast, with a focus on storytelling through art and literature. In addition to crafts and art projects, Illustoria presents stories through comics, and profiles illustrators, artists, and makers . . . [with] messages of compassion and inclusivity . . . bursting with creative ideas.” —New York Times, Wirecutter, "The 20 Best Gifts for 9-Year-Olds" 

“WSJ. scoured niche sites and educational resources for under-the-radar recommendations to help shake up homeschool routines—or at least provide an analog alternative to screen time. [Illustoria] is a chic magazine . . . there’s nothing parents need more right now than some mandatory quiet reading hours.” —Wall Street Journal, "Useful Homeschool Supplies That Go Beyond the Everyday Syllabus" 

“Illustoria has collaborated with some of our favorite children’s book illustrators (Carson Ellis, Hervé Tullet, Miriam Klein Stahl) and other big-name artists. Needless to say, each stunning issue is something you’ll proudly want to display on your bookshelf.” —Mother Magazine, "The Best Magazines for Kids" 

“It’s a rewarding offering that I hope sticks around for many years down the line.”—Kirkus Reviews, "The Story of Illustoria" 

"(A) visually exciting magazine with a DIY attitude . . . offer(s) plentiful opportunities for engagement, while the quality artwork and inventive layouts are sure to inspire imaginative responses."
