Stiggy, Stoggy and Poppoit: The Magical Adventures Begin is a charming early-reader adventure that blends the visual magic of a picture book with the longer storytelling experience of a chapter book.

Inspired by childhood summers, wildflowers, secret gardens, and the boundless imagination of young children, the story follows a little girl who discovers an enchanting world filled with magical companions, hidden wonders, and unexpected adventures.

For this project, I developed the cover illustration, character designs, interior illustrations, and overall visual atmosphere of the book. The artwork was designed to maintain the warmth and immersive quality of a traditional picture book while supporting a more text-rich reading experience.

This project is a wonderful example of how self-publishing can create space for stories that don't fit neatly into conventional publishing categories. By combining generous illustrations with longer passages of text, the book offers young readers more room for storytelling without losing the visual wonder that makes illustrated books so memorable.
