Two Best Friends
CHILDREN'S BOOK WRITING | ILLUSTRATION
Objective
Along with exposure to nature, awareness about injustices can kindle values of care and nurture and curiosity within children. By playing on the concept of friendship and establishing thoughts of inter-relatedness, I have aimed to create an evocative short book.
Story in Brief
The story runs parallel between two human and pangolin best friends. The narrative walks through their entire day together but, ends differently for the pangolins.
Made as part of 'Independent Study' unit during my Post Graduate Diploma in 5 days.
Ideation Process:
• Writing story iteratively, to reach an ending that encourages curiosity.
• Study pangolins and their anatomy.
• Developing simple human and pangolin characters.
• Explorations with color shades to achieve uniformity in both stories.
• Final layout in spread format.
