African Savanna

I've decided now to change the content of my children's book (again haha, when will it stop). It will no longer be the topic I previously proposed (I will keep this my post-graduate project, as originally planned - might also be working on this with Lauren for SchoolCycle).

However, I still want to explore people and places in Africa because it's something that I've not done before and would therefore allow me to venture outside of my knowledge and usual comfort zones - colour palettes, character designs etc. Also, I like the idea of taking myself and young readers to faraway places and learning about different cultures, because this is one way that children can see the many ways people around the world are alike.

After giving this a bit of thought, I've decided that I am going to make a children's pop-up book about the amazing animals and people of the African Savanna! As there are already a lot of information about this on the internet and in books, I wouldn't need to spend so long doing research and can spend more time with the crafting of the illustrations and the book.

To expand on the range, I could also then propose to make more books based on different biomes:

• Arctic
• Desert
• Cave
• City
• Coniferous forest
• Tropical rainforest
• Pond
• Ocean/Coral reef
