Pop Out Loud - First Day of School
Written by Sarita Fichtner

Pop Out Loud is a picture book featuring four snack-themed characters in imaginative, colourful settings. I was responsible for character design, cover art, and interior illustrations, collaborating closely with the author to create a playful, cohesive visual experience.
The story follows Jimmy, the popcorn kernel, as he learns to embrace his sensitivity and big feelings. Written to support highly sensitive children and promote mental wellness, this book serves as a starting point for conversations on emotion and provides a vibrant, fun read for preschool and young school-aged children.
