When designing The Friendly Foraging Guide, my goal was to create a fun, interactive book that reflects something I loved as a child and now get to share with my younger siblings. The main characters were visually inspired by my siblings, adding a personal touch to the story. My younger brother, who is less interested in traditional books and learning, became a key influence. I wanted to create something that would capture his attention—something educational but engaging enough to feel like play. That blend of fun and learning became a central focus of the book.
