BBC Culture commissioned us to create an animation celebrating the Top 10 titles from The 100 Greatest Children’s Books.

Based on votes from 177 literary experts across 56 countries, the animation brings to life the most iconic scenes from the highest-ranked books, stories that have shaped generations of readers.

The piece explores the lasting impact of children’s literature, translating the emotional power and imaginative richness of these books into a dynamic visual language. Through movement, color, and narrative rhythm, the animation captures the sense of wonder that makes reading such a formative experience.

This project is a visual tribute to the books that stay with us long after childhood.
