192 - Balloon Girl and the Giraffe Book

 Once I had invented the balloon girl character, I started thinking about what to do with her, and I decided to sketch out a picture book aimed at young children.

What’s fantastic about cartoons: they defy physics. Accidentally flattened by a ten tonne weight? No problem, just peel off the floor. Travel at the speed of light, squeeze your fat body through the eye of a needle, float amongst the clouds with a balloon for a head…

So balloon girl was able to come face-to-face with a giraffe. The book was around 10 pages long and it takes a young child on a short journey. They discover shapes, patterns and a new friend from different perspectives and viewpoints.
