The Sun is the centre of who we are. It is the “I am” in each one of us. The Moon nurtures us at night. It represents how we feel and how we care. Mercury is our voice and how we learn and Venus is our style of expression and how we love.

Through engaging rhymes and colourful descriptive illustrations, this exploratory book introduces the language of astrology in a lighhearted way that we can all relate to.

Rabbit from But Why?

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.
