Waiting
Children’s Book
This is a children’s book I created about the first meeting and budding friendship of a fisherman ghost, marking the beginning of an unlikely trio. The goal was to break from traditional storytelling and use darker imagery than typical children’s books. I aimed for a slow-burn narrative that gradually shifts tones from loneliness to togetherness.
I wanted the ending to feel like a surprise of color — a payoff that grows from the subtle hints of green on the first page, gradually revealing the life the character has been missing.
