Joshua Burleson - Author and Illustrator

Welcome to JoshuaBurleson.com

My name is Joshua Burleson and I'm a children's Author and Illustrator located in beautiful Spokane, WA.

I set out with the goal to create original stories that inspire and foster personal growth in both children and their parents. Together we can explore new worlds and find new treasures just waiting to be found. Come with me, and let's turn the page to a brand new story.

My Illustrations

The job of an artist is to try and make the mundane seem extraordinary and teach the viewer to see something they've seen a thousand times in a brand new way. My hope is to use art to give children and parents a brand new way of seeing the world around them. Finding the adventures in their own backyard.

You can see my latest illustrations and general nonsense on Instagram @joshuaburlesonbooks.

My Latest Project

"Brown Eggs, White Eggs" is a picture book I illustrated for authors Allen Wiemer and Kenny Parks Jr. It follows Maddie, a girl growing up on a farm, as she works out how to treat a classmate her friend says she should avoid.
