The series was created to introduce young readers to engaging, culturally rooted stories through accessible language and visually compelling narratives. Each book was designed to work both as a standalone story and as part of a cohesive series, with thoughtful visual storytelling and layouts that support early literacy while allowing the books to adapt across multiple languages.
Led the overall visual direction and design of the series, shaping the creative vision for each title while ensuring consistency across the collection. I oversaw illustrator collaborations, handled project coordination and negotiations, and designed the final book layouts, bringing together text and imagery into cohesive, publication-ready picture books.
