    “The Mystery of the Missing Menorah” 🕎✨

    My first international project—scheduled for publication in September 2025—involved illustrating the children’s book The Mystery of the Missing Menorah, which introduces the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah in a playful way. Beyond the visual development of characters, settings, and layout, the project presented a significant challenge: the need to revise the ethnicity of a supporting character after the work had already been completed. This process required redoing part of the work while balancing cultural respect, sensitivity, and technical skill, ultimately leading to a successful final delivery.
