Liz Williams approached me to bring her heartfelt story, Mattie & The Junk Bike Crew, to life through thoughtful, engaging illustrations. The book, which raises awareness about the need for bone marrow donors and supports Be The Match, required artwork that balanced playfulness with sensitivity. Each illustration was crafted to capture the spirit of adventure, resilience, and community at the heart of Mattie’s story. From lively character designs to vibrant scenes, the visuals invite young readers to connect with the characters while honoring the book’s important message. The result is a collection of illustrations that not only enhance the storytelling but also create a meaningful connection for families and children. It was a privilege to contribute to a project with such a powerful purpose and enduring impact.
