When given the prompt to illustrate a book, my mind automatically went to The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams. It is a story very near and dear to my heart since I had a lovey growing up that was a bunny. It was also one of my favorite stories as a kid.
With my illustrations, I wanted to keep everything in a very cute and cartoonish style with saturated colors and simple shading. I created a mix of full-page illustrations and spot illustrations.
