Big illustrations for Mila and the real world
Illustrations I am making for the children's book: Mila and the real world, written by Marthe van Dijk.
This book is intended for children with a parent who (temporarily) has to deal with psychological complaints, such as a burnout, depression, old trauma, psychoses, etc. These children don't always understand what is happening to their parent, which can make them feel alone and misunderstood even when someone explains it to them. This book hopes to provide words in a situation where words are hard to find, so that these children know they are not alone. Even if they don't know anyone like Mila, at least they still know Mila.
