    paper Migrant workers are just like us

    “Migrant workers are just like us” is a poem book written by Minah Faiz Rasheed, from MMWM (Mission for Migrant Workers Maldives, an NGO). The book encourages children to treat migrant workers with mutual respect and to appreciate their hard work and contribution to our society.
    I got the pleasure of illustrating this book while working at Loopcraft, and it was officially published on November 21st 2021, in celebration of International Childrens Day.
