Project Details...

Pat's Parents is a children's book highlighting the topic of divorce and seperation within families.

I was approached by the author, Sarah Tracey, to design an illustration style that would best help explain the subject matter, be eye-catching and appeal to the younger audience.

The final illustrations are colourful and front-facing to help establish the connection between the characters and the readers while highlighting the emotions portrayed in the book. The addition of the ladybirds and bumble bees highlights that Pat is never alone, while also, adding an element of fun while trying to point them out on each page.
