How To Give A Tiger A Bath

A children's book I wrote and Illustrated. This story was inspired by myself and my brother. As a child, I was very organized, clean, and tidy. My brother was messy. I learned along the way, that being messy was ok. It can even be a side effect of having fun! So I decided to incorporate those ideas into this book about how being too worried about cleanliness leads to you missing out on fun experiences.
This spread is really fun, as it shows how different Abby and Timmy are from eachother.
I liked the idea of Abby walking in and seeing Timmy, having fun, but making a mess.
This spread was fun to make, as I got to put all sorts of art supplies into it.
I originally thought about omitting this spread. I loved it, but I didn't know if it was needed. After some feedback, in which everyone loved it, I decided to keep it. I love this spread.
