Suggestions of illustrated books aimed at young adult audiences

Hi everyone! Hope you're doing well!

Here's the thing: I'm Brazilian and currently finishing my undergraduate degree in design. For my final thesis, I'm working on a redesign of a book that tells the legends and superstitions from the region where I was born. The original book was published in 1975, and my proposal is to recreate it with illustrations, targeting a young adult audience. My visual references include splash arts from games, animations like Arcane and Spiderverse, and similar styles.

As part of my methodology, I need to collect and analyze similar projects in order to propose new design solutions. So I'm looking for recommendations of illustrated books that are geared more toward adult readers- books with less text and more imagery, but not purely visual and definitely not graphic novels. I’ll drop an example in the comments of an illustrated book I already have, which is roughly in the direction I want to follow.
