UNICEF-Sierra Leonne

In collaboration with the Ministry of Basic and Senior Secondary Education (MBSSE), facilitated by UNICEF Sierra Leone and partners, we developed and illustrated learning materials for Primary Zero, One, Two and three. The scope included picture books, mathematics workbooks, and teachers’ guides designed to support early learning progression.
THE CHALLENGE
Delivering age-appropriate, culturally relevant visuals across multiple grades required a deep understanding of local context and curriculum. We produced more than 400
bespoke 2D and 3D illustrations, ensuring consistency while responding to different developmental stages.
THE STRATEGY
A unified flat comic-style illustration system was applied across P0–P2, shifting from narrative-led visuals to more structured instructional imagery as learners progress.
Illustration, layout, copy editing, and proofreading were integrated to ensure clarity, accuracy, and alignment with educational goals.
THE OUTCOME
The final materials form a cohesive, scalable learning system that translates complex concepts into engaging, child-centred visuals, supporting both learners and teachers
across early primary education.
