Abstract
Childhood is the most important shaping phase in a person's life. Reading is an important way for children to know and understand the world. People of different ages also need different books. For children, they need children's books and engaging children's books. In childhood, the most important feature of reading is reading pictures. The importance of children's book illustrations has long gone far beyond those illuminated texts. Illustrations can not only clearly express the content, but also have certain artistry to improve the overall style of the book. The development of book illustrations is constantly updated and progressed. Either using traditional brush tools or emerging computers, the truly outstanding children's illustrations are not only used to convey information, but also to enable children to be influenced by art, as well as to contribute to the development of children's thinking ability, imagination and aesthetic ability.
