Some stories remind us that even the smallest among us can carry the greatest courage.
Inspired by Thumbelina by Hans Christian Andersen, this illustration brings one of his most beloved fairy tales to life. Surrounded by water lilies, curious frogs and a butterfly drifting overhead, Thumbelina discovers a world where nature feels endless and every small encounter becomes part of the adventure.
Created for the Seasons Lamp, these illustrated sheets are meant to be returned to, year after year. As the lamp is lit, the illustration comes alive in a warm storybook glow, transforming an ordinary corner into a place where favourite tales quietly find their way back into everyday life.
This illustration is one of my designs for the Seasons Lamp—a wooden lamp made to display interchangeable illustrated sheets throughout the changing seasons. Whether displayed in a nursery, on a nature table or as part of your seasonal decorations, each artwork is created to become a familiar part of your home.
Inspired by the timeless stories of Hans Christian Andersen, these illustrations celebrate the tales many of us grew up with—stories where courage is found in the smallest hearts, nature is filled with enchantment, and kindness always lights the way. Like a well-loved storybook taken from the shelf once again, this artwork is made to be enjoyed for many seasons to come.

I’m Iris Esther, an illustrator and mother of two, creating illustrated art, art prints, postcards, and small paper goods from my forest-side home studio. With a green birdhouse in the first tree outside my window, I work guided by nature, fairy tales, changing seasons and by a deep love for making art by hand.
Growing up, being outside wasn’t a destination but a way of living. My art grew from that same gentle rhythm.
My illustrations are made to quietly support everyday life — bringing a sense of enchantment to family celebrations, seasonal rituals, and small moments that matter.
