I was absolutely over the moon to be asked to create the illustrations for Dr Monika Singh Gangotra’s beautiful new book Harmony House. 🍁 🍂 🧡
You may know Monika from her award-winning children’s book - Sunflower Sisters and this new story is just as meaningful and full of heart. The project took around four months for me to complete - from sketches to final handover of all illustrations and I pushed myself in many ways - especially exploring a whole new warm, autumnal colour palette that was completely outside my comfort zone. With a large cast of characters, each playing different musical instruments, I had the creative challenge of crafting dynamic compositions on every page (and yes… drawing many, many hands!). I’m truly honoured to have been part of this book, and it’s always a delight working with Sam at Owlet Press!
