Artist and author Ralph Cosentino is launching a series of children's story books celebrating classic monsters in a fun and imaginative way.
This series of classic monster picture books are aimed towards young children and will depict the origins of much beloved characters like 'Dracula,' 'The Werewolf' and 'Frankenstein's Monster.' Rather than aiming to scare kids, these charming picture books humanize and provide a playful look at this spooky cast of characters. Cosentino's whimsical artwork is featured throughout and follows a mostly black and white theme with splashes of bright character-specific color reserved for each book's main protagonist.
The first release in the planned series will be 'I am The Frankenstein Monster!' and will follow the birth of the green colored monster as he learns about and explores the world around him.
