For my senior thesis project at the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design, I created a children’s book dummy titled, One, Two, Three, I’m as Small as a Bee! The book follows a young girl named Bella who discovers empathy by interacting with the different bugs in her garden. She also learns the important roles bugs have to help keep her garden healthy.

Below are my final painted spreads and cover for the book, painted in watercolor, gouache, and colored pencil on watercolor paper.
