Imagine Learning Connected Texts books for grades 3–5 are grounded in knowledge-rich content and immersive storytelling. Spanning fiction and nonfiction across genres, themes, and text types, the series was designed to offer content that feels engaging, exploratory, and genuinely compelling for young readers.
Each book was meticulously crafted to the highest editorial and typographic standards. I had the unique opportunity to hand-draw custom frames for the nonfiction titles, elevating the realistic photography and bringing warmth and dimension to the content. This project sparked a lasting appreciation for precise typography and the complexity of multi-subject book design.
