Olly the Lone Red Squirrel – Complete Children's Book Design

The project began with a children’s story about Olly, a little red squirrel who longs to fit in but struggles with feeling different from the other squirrels.

The goal was to give the story a visual identity that captures its gentle emotions while making the book appealing to young readers.

I approached the project by creating a cohesive book design, combining soft watercolor-style illustrations, expressive typography, and a carefully selected color palette. I worked on the front and back cover, spine layout, interior page arrangement, and overall book presentation to ensure every element felt connected.

Particular attention was given to the balance between illustrations and text, readability, page composition, and the emotional atmosphere of the story.

The final result is a complete children’s book design that brings the story to life through thoughtful illustration and professional publishing layout.
