Creative Direction
The visual approach was designed to feel warm, expressive, playful, and easy for early readers to follow. I developed Gora as a cute and memorable character with strong appeal for young children, while keeping the emotional scenes readable and age-appropriate.

Main Challenge
One of the biggest illustration challenges in this project was creating a wide range of facial expressions and emotional transitions. Because the story focuses on anger, frustration, and calming down, the character needed to clearly show changing feelings from page to page. The goal was to make each expression recognizable, relatable, and emotionally engaging for young readers.
