After read all the scripts, I started to make sketches of the characters and the environment, followed by the storyboards, then sent them to the editor to get some feedbacks. I used watercolours to make the final artworks and it took around 6 months to complete this project.

| Work in progress - Hari Pertama Sekolah |
This picture book series highlights various problems that commonly faced by preschoolers on their first day of school. There was Cici the rabbit who wanted to bring her toy to school, Leo the lion who refused to give up diapers, Hopy the hippo who got panicky when her mother was not around, and many more.
I think this series could be listed as an ideal reading materials for toddlers, especially the ones who will start a nursery or preschool because it could help them to familiarise themselves with the challenges they might face there.
