Illustration für den Kinderbuchtrailer Petronella Apfelmus

A children’s book universe magically brought to life

Service: Instagram book trailers, multiple formats
Client: Bastei Lübbe Verlag
Style: Motion design, animation

For the popular children’s book series Petronella Apfelmus, we produced a colorful and cheerful book trailer for Bastei Lübbe Verlag.

Based on a storyboard provided by the publisher and using the original illustrations, we brought Petronella and her friends to life through lovingly crafted animations and sound design. The 30-second trailer was produced in three different formats for use on social media and is aimed at parents with children aged 4 to 9.

With lively movement, magical sparkle, and rich visual details, the enchanting world of the apple witch is captured with warmth and charm. The result is a playful glimpse into a children’s book universe full of adventure and small magical moments.
