Mō Frank and the Frog Pukapuka Whakaahua

Ko Frank and the Frog he pukapuka whakaahua mā ngā tamariki mō te ngaromanga me te maharatanga. E whai ana te kōrero i a Frank, he tama nohinohi ka oho ake i tētahi rā, kāore i taea te kimi i tōna kuia. Ka wehe atu a Frank i te kāinga ki te rapu i a ia, ka tūtaki ki tētahi poroka ka noho hei hoa, hei kaiāwhina hoki mōna. I te mutunga o te haerenga, ka kite a Frank kei tētahi wāhi haumaru, wāhi rangimārie tōna kuia, ā, ka poroporoaki atu ia. E rua tekau mā rua ngā whārangi whakaahua o te pukapuka e rere ana mai i te taha mauī ki te taha matau, ā, ka honoa ngā whārangi anga mā te rerekētanga. Ko ngā raina me ngā kakano i mahia ā-ringa, ka whakatakotohia, ka whakataingia ā-matihiko.

Inenga & Pēketanga: Width 300 mm x Depth 15 mm x Height 300 mm
Tūtohu: illustration, picturebook, children, book, bookdesign, childrenbook
Hangarau Whakanao: Mixed media. Manual linework and textures, digitally composed and colourized.
Wero Hoahoa: The hardest part was, of course, how to bring the topic of death into the picture book in a kid-friendly way. Another thing I had to consider during the development phase was that even though I always spend a lot of time thinking about death, I never had an intimate experience with it. So I wanted to be respectful with this topic.
Rangahau: RESEARCH ABSTRACT**:
A big part of my research was to find the right mentor for Frank.
I was looking into different mythology characters, symbols, characters from my life, etc. When I find frogs, I immediately fall in love with the idea. I think they are visually exciting; frogs are travellers, and they can travel through lands, through the water. In the shaman culture, frogs as totem animals have the power of transformation and travelling between the human world and the spirit realm.
Whakaaweawe: My main goal with this picture book was to tell a story and tackle a topic that is not that common in children's literature. A topic that was hard to understand when I was a kid and had me confused for a long time. The subject of death.
I am lucky to have all four of my grandparents alive and know them, but this is a rare phenomenon in my environment. Many people lose their grandparents during their childhood. The base idea comes from my childhood: I was always (and still am) scared of what would happen when my grandparent won't be here anymore.
Roanga o te Kaupapa: The project started in June 2021 in Helsinki.
Rerenga Mahi: This picturebook has 12 fully illustrated pages. All the pages have a left-to-right flow, leading the eyes of the reader to the next page. The spreadsheets next to each other are designed to pair up based on different contrasts: e.g., on one page, when the composition is complex, then on the next page, the layout is minimal, or when Franks is high up in the sky, on the next page he goes deep under the ocean.
