Children's Book Illustrator — On-site | Yiwu, China

We're looking for a talented illustrator to create engaging and detailed artwork for interactive children's books.

This job has an opportunity to work in our Main Office in China.

The ideal candidate has strong experience in kids' book illustration and can create clean, playful, and visually rich scenes that encourage exploration and interaction.

⚠ Important: Our characters, brand guidelines, and visual style are fully developed. Your job is to work within this system — not reinvent it. Every illustration must stay consistent with what already exists. Revisions will be requested whenever something drifts from the brief, and attention to detail in matching the established style is the most important skill for this role.
