Abstract
The purpose of this project is to write and begin illustrating a children’s book. The end goal is to complete the full script, finish rough sketches of the entire book, fully illustrate the cover and first two pages, and present the project in the form of an exhibition.
This story follows three little chicks (Dixie, Charlotte, and Phoebe) around a small farmyard as they encounter a new type of animal, a family of rabbits. For the majority of the book, the chicks fear the newcomers since they look so different. The sisters judge, avoid, and suppose the worst of the strange creatures until they get a shocking surprise. One day, the trio were simply doing the things that chickens do but were unknowingly being hunted by a ravenous fox. However, before they become a quick meal, something surprises the predator and scares him away. The chicks look up to see a small rabbit kit sitting contentedly and realize that she had just saved their lives. They learn that they, and this rabbit, are not so different after all and become friends.
