Objective: Select a free public domain children’s book and create a layout + illustrations for it.
Concept: I illustrated The Little Red Hen/La Pequeña Gallina Roja, which is a bilingual adaptation of the original folktale. In this version from 1969, the Little Red Hen makes tortillas instead of bread and she demonstrates the benefits of hard work and personal initiative. The illustrations are based on Latin American folk art and geography & I chose to switch between the languages on each page to promote bilingual reading/learning.
