This is my first illustrated book.The balloon is about a teddy bear that
is displaced among the other bears. 

Frustrated, he tries to find his place in the world and tries to understand why
he has a balloon and the other bears doesn't. The story is a gentle approach
to attention deficit disorder.

The book was created with the intention of creating an identification in
children with the disorder. 

Here's a little bit of how I did it:

A little exploration of the characters to create a friendly interaction between the bears that generates identification in children.

The irregular brush strokes, color palette and paper texture were purposely chosen to create the feeling that the story was painted by a child. In addition, low saturation causes a feeling of coziness.

After defining the style of my book, I applied it to the illustrations I had sketched. During the performance, I showed a lot of myself and my childhood. In fact, the book was made with a lot of love and attention to detail.

The night scenes in the book reinforce the sense of time passing.

The book was published and is available in the Portuguese version. 

Thank you for taking the time to get to know my work!
