Olive the Bunny — Juliette Turpin

Olive the Bunny

A project I worked on during my final year at uni. I wanted to create a children's book with my house rabbit as the main character.

An educational story that teaches children about popular landmarks around the world. Below are some page examples including texts and early concept ideas.

Below are some examples taken from the book and some other ideas and projects I came up with for a uni project.

It follows Olive, whose hot air balloon gets hit by a bird strike, blows her away and she finds herself visiting a few of the many wonders of the world.

An example from the book I'm working on including rhyming texts

Landing by a suspension bridge under the stars

"The Great Balloon Adventure' Front cover idea

After story - Showing where the landmarks are from
