It’s a Shame I Don’t Like Honey - A Personal Project 
Mixed-media illustrated picture book for children 21.0 x 29.7 cm




I never met my grandfather but my Dad loves to tell me stories of him and his beekeeping obsession. His favourite memory is of the time the honey turned bright green and the investigation into how it occurred...



This month long project explored my grandfather’s beekeeping legacy, drawing from and manipulating images, baking honey cakes from his recipe book, investigating the importance of bees for the environment, and ended with a pitch for an illustrated children’s book.
