Andy & Glow: A Children’s Picture Book About Big Feelings

A warm, emotional picture book about a boy, his floating robot friend Glow, and learning that even a storm can leave a rainbow.

I illustrated this children’s picture book following Andy, a curious boy, and Glow, his gentle companion, as they work through a hard day together: from the joy of flying a kite, to the heavy “stormy feeling” of disappointment, to healing through creativity and friendship.

WHAT I CREATED:

• Full-colour interior spreads for a picture book for young readers
• Original character designs for Andy and Glow, kept consistent across every page
• Expressive emotional storytelling: Andy’s face and body language move from excitement to sadness to comfort
• Colour and lighting that follow the mood: sunny meadows for joy, softer tones for sadness, warm light for comfort
• Text placement planned into each layout so the words and artwork work together

STYLE
Soft, painterly digital illustration with bright, inviting colours and expressive characters, designed to hold a child’s attention while helping them recognise and talk about big feelings.

WHY IT WORKS
Children connect with characters whose emotions feel real. Every spread was designed to support the story and give young readers something to explore on every page.
