The Sun Cat, The Badger, and the Missing Comet.
Stella Westergren

For my degree project, I am making an illustrated picture book aimed at children ages 3-6. The book follows a badger who climbed up from underground to get closer to space and the stars above that he dreams about and a glowing cat who once lived in the sun but dreamt of Earth and greenery. A person from outer space looking down, and a person from the Earth looking up.

The book shows their first encounter, looking for a missing comet together. Fascinated by each other’s worlds, they meet in the middle and become friends. The book is mainly illustrated digitally, with some analog additions for texture and depth, and focuses on friendship and exploration.
