# Pop art, your child on every page

Pop art gives your child’s book bold saturated colour, halftone dots and thick outlines — a loud, graphic, modern energy.

## Keeping your child recognisable

Thick outlines keep your child’s features defined and consistent throughout. That is the whole point of Once Books: you pick Pop art once and it is locked to the book, so your child is the same child from the cover to the last page. See [how it works](https://www.oncebooks.com/how-it-works/), or browse [all the art styles](https://www.oncebooks.com/styles/).
