These are illustrations made for a school project, we had to make 3 spreads for an illustrated children's book based on the story below. The selection of 3 spreads was made from the storyboard of the entire book.

THE STORY OF THE MOUSE IN THE STORE

Once upon a time a mouse entered a store at night. He smelled all the good things that were inside: the butter, the bacon, the sausage, the cheese, the bread, the chocolate, the apples, the nuts, the fresh carrots. First he rised on his back paws and stretched his nose and whistled in joy. But were to start? He was about to bite the butter package when from somewhere he smelled the delicious sent of bacon and from somewhere else the delicious smell of cheese! He was about to bite the cheese when from somewhere he smelled the delicious sent of sausage and from somewhere else the delicious smell of chocolate! He was about to bite the chocolate when from somewhere he smelled the delicious sent of cake and from somewhere else the delicious smell of butter again! The poor mouse ran from one place to the other, not knowing where to begin. And, suddenly, it was day and people started entering the store. They shoo'd him away so he said to the other mice: «Never again I'll go back to that store! When you’re about to start eating, they throw you out!».
