The Children of Mother Goose
“Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” Pat Thompson
Remember when there were no screens, streaming programs, or phone time? With all the gadgets and technology of today, how do we keep them from getting lost?
Parents search for programs or content to give their child the input and values that they believe in. Content that they trust. What a confusing time for parents today.
We crave to give our children simpler, quieter, peaceful times with good role models, but where do we find them? With every scenario fed to them, how is their curiosity and imagination being fully engaged? Is something now missing?
In quieter moments, while listening to children at play, you will still hear: “Little Bo Peep”, “Rain, Rain Go Away”, “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”. These iconic rhythms have been passed from generation to generation for over 400 years. There must be something there?
Children have always loved characters
Cover “The Velveteen Rabbit” Pat Thompson
As a children's illustrator for 15 years, I noticed that children always loved characters, they always have and always will.
Following my instincts, I created a body of all new pastel art, “The Children of Mother Goose”, which illustrates the most iconic rhymes, character-driven, updated, and relatable for children of today. The quiet settings give a sense of simpler times where little ones can picture themself stepping into these pictures with their own imaginations.

Start with the art. Choose a character that your child loves, then build a room or nursery around the illustrations, choose a color theme from the picture, then add your own personal style from Country Core, BOHO, Modern, Vintage, and every style in between.
You have now created a timeless space for them, away from all the noise of today. A place to dream, hope, and use their big imaginations. Purchase your favorite character here; there is one for every child.
