This thesis explores digital illustration in connection with a Slovenian folk tale and its adaptation into a wordless picture book. The theoretical part presents the basic features of illustration, picture books for children, and folk tales, with a special focus on stories told without text. It also discusses how image and text work together and the role of visual storytelling in children's literature. The main theoretical section covers the basics of visual language, including visual elements, variables, spatial techniques, composition, typography, and book format. The analytical part compares two illustrated versions of the folk tale Fižolček, ogelček in slamica, showing differences in visual style and interpretation. The practical part includes the creation of an original wordless picture book, made in both digital and physical form, where the whole story is told only through images. The thesis connects theory, analysis, and creative work, and highlights the importance of visual understanding in modern children's books.
