Kindness is Elementary
A published children’s alphabet book written, illustrated, and designed to introduce kindness through colorful, expressive visual storytelling. I developed the concept, illustrations, typography, page layouts, cover, and print-ready publication files.
Book Design • Illustration • Typography • Publication Design
Overview
Kindness Is Elementary began as an exploration of how the alphabet could communicate a meaningful social-emotional message. I created an original visual concept for every letter, combining expressive lettering, colorful illustration, and age-appropriate ideas about kindness. I then assembled the artwork into a cohesive 8.5-by-8.5-inch children’s book, designed the cover and interior pages, prepared the print-ready files, and independently published the finished book through Amazon KDP.
