Kim Sponaugle – Children’s Book Illustrator & Book Illustration Consultant Kim Sponaugle is a children’s book illustrator, watercolor artist, and storyteller with a passion for bringing stories to life through emotionally expressive artwork and meaningful visual storytelling. Through Picture Kitchen Studio, Kim helps authors develop picture books that capture the imagination, communicate emotion, and create memorable reading experiences for children. As a Book Illustration Consultant, she offers authors guidance on the creative and visual development of their books, helping them think through illustration style, storytelling, book design, and the important relationship between words and pictures. Kim believes children’s books should do more than tell a story—they should invite children into Selah Moments—those precious pauses of wonder, reflection, and discovery that linger in a child’s heart long after the last page is turned.
