Watercolor Illustrations
I’ve illustrated the children's book "Goodbye Mother Sun" across 32 pages, a format commonly seen in bookstores. The story, aimed at children aged 5-10, explores grief through the metaphor of a garden. I brought the characters to life as flowers (representing the children), with the mother as the radiant sun and the father as a sturdy tree. The garden is filled with vibrant plants, butterflies, and birds, capturing both the beauty and messiness of life. My illustrations aim to make this emotional journey visually engaging and relatable for young readers.
