Pop Out Loud – First Day of School
The Self Publishing Agency, October 2024
My debut in children's book illustration, Pop Out Loud – First Day of School, is a vibrant and heartfelt story created in collaboration with author Sarita Fichtner and The Self Publishing Agency. This picture book celebrates the boldness of emotional expression, encouraging kids to embrace their full range of feelings—whether loud, quiet, joyful, or unsure.
I had the joy of working on both the illustration and cover design for this special project, which is available in hardcover and softcover at saritaimagined.com, on Indigo, and Barnes & Noble.
