Why did you make this work:
A renewed publication of a well known children's book by Yoram Thar Lev, distributed for free to all kindergarten children in Israel as part of a reading program run by the ministry of education. I saw this as an opportunity to pursue a more artistic approach to children's book illustration from the one dominating the Israeli market.

a children's book

paper cut, pencil and gouache
