Little Gestalten

On over 60 pages, children from 8 years onwards and their parents can dive into the secret world of African animals and learn about their super powers. Besides a breakdown of both notable and curious traits including class, weight, habitat and social behaviors the reader gets to know a corresponding African folk tale - interweaving method and myth.

Below: When a honey badger fights with a king cobra, the honey badger is most likely the winner. Draft, work in progress and final double spread.
