I Am Strong Just Being Me 🌸💪🏼

ICYMI I have a new book coming out on April 3rd! ☺︎

It’s about the different ways we can be strong. And how strength isn’t about being macho! I love this story by the amazing Laura Dockrill.

‘From the power of silence to the strength of an embrace, a curious young child explores the many different ways to be strong’

I really got into my trees and flowers era for this one and created the most luscious garden as a setting, and honestly it feels like a character too. Can’t wait to show more.

Pre-order here - if you can pre-order I would really appreciate it as it shows the publisher that there is demand for the book!

Here’s a peek at a sample image of characters Bean and Nanna I did before I started the final art for the book:

An illustration by Kip Alizadeh of the characters Bean and Nanna in the garden for I Am Strong Just Being Me. Bean is wearing a red jumper and yellow cap and is androgynous. They are sat on Nanna's shoulders, and she has short grey hair, brown skin, a yellow jumper, and blue dungarees and Doc Martens on. They are both smiling and happy.

Closer to publication date, I’ll share some more behind the scenes things…

Thank you for reading!

Kip
