Aisha Visits the Hospital

Tasked with creating a children’s book, Aisha did what she’d been told writer’s do – write what you know.

The story retells her surgery at age 10 to remove my appendix. The scared little girl drew strength from a Fairytale Godmother-like aunt who had also had the procedure.

Original drawings were created by hand, scanned and traced using Adobe Streamline – color, pattern and texture were added digitally.
