Christmas Movie Picture Books

Artist Kim David Recreates 'Home Alone' as a Christmas Picture Book

— November 9, 2015 — Pop Culture
Author Kim Smith illustrated and reimagined the classic 1990s movie 'Home Alone' as a fun and engaging Christmas picture book for kids.

Smith is a graduate of the Alberta College of Art and Design. Using her artistic skill, she is able to capture the fun and warmth of the film 'Home Alone' on its 25 anniversary in a vintage artistic style. This Christmas picture book reimagining is intended for children ages four to eight, and includes imaginative illustrations done in the style of the 1950s golden age.

The book uses a read-aloud format and amusing artwork to tell the story of Kevin McCallister as he squares off with the 'Wet Bandits' as they try to invade his family home on Christmas. Featuring both the booby traps and the lessons from the film, this amusing story is now available in a whole new format for a new generation of children.
Trend Themes
1. Christmas-themed Picture Books - The trend of adapting classic Christmas movies and characters into picture books provides an opportunity for artists and authors to create new engaging content for younger audiences.
2. Nostalgic Illustrative Remakes - Reimagining classic movies through an art style of an earlier era presents disruption opportunities for illustrators to capture the same essence but in a new form.
3. Read-aloud Picture Books - The increase in demand for read-aloud picture books creates an opportunity for authors to repurpose classic movies for younger audiences who can experience them in a new but familiar way.
Industry Implications
1. Publishing Industry - The publishing industry can tap into the trend for Christmas-themed picture books and leveraging different illustration styles to create new and engaging content for young audiences.
2. Film Industry - The film industry can explore nostalgic illustrative remakes of classic Christmas movies to create new merchandise and spin-offs, adding a new dimension to their marketing strategy.
3. Education Industry - The education industry can use the popularity of read-aloud picture books to leverage classic movies as teaching aids for younger students, combining popular entertainment with educational content.
