Clever Fox's Tales About the Universe
These books are created for 3-5 year old children and parents, who are fascinated by the wonders of our universe and the miracles of it. This series does not intend to teach, it aims to raise interest. Although the books cover topics which are considered to be difficult to understand, the creator believes that incorporating them in stories in a playful way is far from impossible. The short dialogues of the main characters let kids discover the mysteries of physics - told in their own language.
Somehow I started to watch documentaries about the Universe and quantum physics. I always wanted to make a children book, and I asked my wife to write me one. She after she said no, I decided to write my own. I wanted to make a book trilogy for my daughter about astrophysics. Firstly I used analog techniques, but later I decided to make the book's illustration in Photoshop.
First I've made a little research to find out what technique would be the best for this project. At the beginning I made a few sketches with pencil. After this stage I scanned these papers. These were the guide to the final illustrations which I made in Photoshop. The whole process was very quick around 1 week.
Everybody loved the idea, but some people said that this topic is too hard for a 3-5 year old. I think it is, but as I told them: this series does not intend to teach, it aims to raise interest. I want to generate conversations between children and their parents.
Please help me to raise funds to this project on indiegogo!
