Over the summer I had an opportunity to work on a book for Children's literacy, "Catching Clouds" written by Aleesah Darlison, published by Oxford University Press Australia and New Zealand.
The book is about a girl who wanted to become friends with a cloud. They spend time together going for a walk and riding through the night sky but one day the cloud started to miss its other friends in the sky.

The book is about a girl who wanted to become friends with a cloud. They spend time together going for a walk and riding through the night sky but one day the cloud started to miss its other friends in the sky.
I enjoyed illustrating the girl and the cloud's adventure, especially the night sky scene. I was also asked to do a hand-written text for the title and the re-cap of the story at the end. It was interesting writing text with paint and brush.
The book is not for sale at retail stores but is available for schools to read for children.
今年の夏は、Aleesah Darlisonさん作の絵本、「Catching Clouds」（Oxford University Press Australia and New Zealandさんから出版）の挿画のお仕事をさせていただきました。
主人公の女の子は雲とお友達になりたくて、ある日雲をつかまえます。ふたりは一緒に遊んだりするのですが、やがて雲は空にいたときのお友達が恋しくなり、やがて女の子は雲を手放さなければならなくなってしまうというお話です。
Aleesahさんの、女の子と雲の遊びのやり取りがとても可愛らしいお話です。
