Illustrations for a picture book manuscript that explores my family's Polish heritage. A child retells their Babcia Babcia's (great-grandmother's) story of immigrating to the US. Explores themes of tradition, storytelling, food, family, and community.
Page 30-31: Our whole family honors our heritage when we get together for Polish food. The pierogies and golabki come from the market, but we make the borsht ourselves. Yummy!
Page 18-19: When finally! 12 whole days later, The Statue of Liberty emerged from the mist, becoming larger with every bob of the ship. America!
Initial character design for Prababcia.
