Mila and the Moon Garden

Mila and the Moon Garden is a children’s picture book formatting concept that explores the relationship between story text and illustration. The pages pair a gentle garden story with watercolor-style artwork and large, readable serif text.

Text sits in quieter areas of each illustration so it remains easy to follow during shared reading. The first spread introduces the setting, while the second moves closer to the characters and a small moment of discovery.

Consistent colours, character styling, page numbers, and text placement connect the spreads. The project demonstrates how careful picture book layout can support the pace of a story while giving both the words and illustrations enough space.
