A boy stands surrounded by (normal sized) lemons. He carries a giant lemon, almost bigger than himself. We only see part of his face peering around the edge. He looks pleased with himself. Text reads Nicola Schofield, children's illustration. Rep by Sally Kim @ ABLA

A spread from Where Is Benji's Blue Bone; a picture book written by Dr. Aruna Shekar and illustrated by Aishwarya Tandon. The spread shows a top-view of a kid's bedroom with a big bed in the centre. The girl is bent down, looking under the bed for her dog, Benji's toy bone, who is helping along by looking under the pillows.
