Flora and the Worri

Flora and the Worri is a self-driven illustrated children’s book. The picture book discusses Flora and her personification of anxiety, the Worri, throughout their journey through town. The picture book also discusses the topics of anxiety and grounding tactics.

This project was traditionally painted using gouache and watercolour. Further details were added through Photoshop and Procreate.
