Tuwa’s Journey is a motivational visual narrative that aims to encourage a persevering attitude within young children. This project is designed to target children 3 to 6 years old, exploring how illustration can help discuss and communicate the importance of perseverance, which will be useful when encountering issues stemming from potential challenges that children are bound to face on their journey to adulthood.

The story features Tuwa, a Tuwabin who lacks the ability to change colours, and follows his journey where his persevering spirit enabled him to fulfil his desire to change colour like the rest of the Tuwabins, despite the many challenges faced.

Through this project, I hope to encourage a ‘can-do’ spirit so that children will grow up learning to build grit, focus, and achieve their goals, providing a foundation that helps lead them to a more positive outlook.
