Various picture book illustrations of a bunny doing different things

The little rabbit is very curious about all the discussion on the virus. What is a virus? I created this character to emit a lot of emotion because we all had so many questions about this virus, concerns, fears, uncertainty. Illustrations created using watercolour scans and photoshop.
