_______________________________________________
Marysia's War Dolls tells the true story of the author's mother. On the day Marysia was to start school, World War II broke out. The book depicts the war through the eyes of a little girl.The book's cover is meant to evoke a school notebook filled with wartime memories for Marysia, the narrator of the story. I wanted the rather realistic illustrations to intertwine with the chaotic, childlike drawings.
Meet the Artist
Kraków, PolandMy name is Ania Jamróz — I’m an illustrator, graphic designer, and visual artist. I graduated from the Faculty of Graphic Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków.
For over seven years, I’ve been designing book covers and creating illustrations — especially for children and young adults. I collaborate with publishers including Wydawnictwo Literackie, Wydawnictwo Kobiece, Muza, Prószyński, and many others.
My work balances somewhere between magic and reality. I value simplicity, a distinctive atmosphere, and visual honesty.
I illustrate, take photographs, love books, and am always seeking new creative challenges. Based in Kraków, I’m open to new collaborations on book covers, illustrations beyond publishing, and unique, character-driven personal commissions.
