Affirm Press Little Bee's Year of Blooms
Illustrated board book design and sculptural 3D presentation celebrating nature, seasons, and early learning.
Little Bee’s Year of Blooms is a die-cut board book designed to guide young readers through the seasons, celebrating Australian flora, pollinators, and the changing natural world. I worked across illustration, book design, and 3D presentation to bring the tactile, sculptural qualities of the book to life. Each spread features richly layered illustrations and organic shapes that invite exploration, while the die-cut form creates a playful silhouette that evolves as the pages turn. The artwork balances warmth and detail with clarity for young audiences, supporting both storytelling and early visual engagement.
