I like to call this piece β€œHope”, it was born at a very emotional time this past month, for personal reasons but also because of everything happening around the world. Migration is not a bad thing, We, the POC are not bad just for being different. But I want to believe we are more the good people. Picture of a little poc girl with yellow butterflies

I love to create miniature versions of the books(as well as the dummy in the sketch stage) to ensure it reads well. And they end as a mini book and they look cute, aren’t they?

Art of a young East asian girl wearing a yellow outfit and holding a red ribbon. She rides a red horse with flames for its mane and tail. A similar looking foal runs in the foreground. 5 other horses run in the background. The fire horses symbolize the year of the Fire Horse in the Chinese astrological calendar.
