The moon keeps a garden

When the rest of the world falls asleep, a little fox discovers a garden that only blooms by moonlight. A picture book concept about curiosity and quiet courage.

The idea

This personal picture book project began with a question: where do flowers go in our dreams? The story follows a curious fox out of its familiar woodland and into a strange, gentle garden tended by the moon.

Making it happen

I used layered silhouettes to make the garden feel both mysterious and welcoming. Lavender, midnight blue, and warm rust create a world between waking and dreaming. Tiny stars and repeated flower shapes reward a slower look, just like a favorite bedtime story.
