How did you make this work:
"Mama Baobab" is a magical story set in Africa. Abedi falls asleep under a Baobab tree while herding his goats. In his dream, together with a bird, a tortoise and a chipmunk he tries to find Mama Baobab who will save his goats from evil hyaenas. I created 13 full page illustrations for the story written by author Nasrin Siege. I used pens and digital collage to visualize the dreamlike atmosphere.
