Philip Bunting is an author and illustrator, whose picture books deliberately encourage the reader to playfully poke around at the edges of their understanding. His work blends curiosity with compassion, science with silliness, and a visual language that speaks to children and the grown-ups guiding them. Inspired by his book 'Give Me Some Space!', we bring you the Watch this Space Classroom Decor collection.
