Hello! I’m Raahat, an illustrator and picture book maker from the UK. I'm deeply inspired by nature, and I love creating scenes that evoke a sense of warmth and comfort for children and adults alike 🌿🍄🍂

Illustration of a grey wolf wearing a cosy green outfit, holding a red book, and looking over a windy, autumnal landscape as she stands next to a tree without leaves. Leaves are blowing across the scene. In the foreground there is a dark wooden fence. In the background, there are hills, a white cottage with chimney smoke, trees, birds flying, and white fluffy clouds.

Illustration of a brown mouse, surrounded by pink and white flowers, holding a pink book titled "By the River". He is sat on a green leaf floating along the river.

Illustration of a badger wearing a blue apron, watering an oak sapling with a green watering can. There are roots underneath.

Illustration of a raccoon sheltering from the rain in a forest. There is a warm camping stove with a steaming kettle on top, and mushrooms scattered around.

If you can, go out into nature. It is a gift and a rahmah (a mercy) that we take for granted. We are of the earth after all, not the concrete structures and electronic devices we surround ourselves with. So even if it's just a patch of grass, the sunshine and birdsong will work wonders 🤍
