It was a nice surprise having the finished printed copy of What’s Fair? arrive in the post. I had the fun of illustrating this math book for Scholastic Education’s Math Place collection and am very pleased with how it has turned out. I especially enjoy illustrating kids in situations that are down-to-earth, like playing lego, working in messy classrooms and playing outside.

Illustrations were done in water colour with a little graphite pencil line work. These are some snapshots of my favourite moments in the illustrations :
