I have been working on illustrations of the Jungle Book with an eye towards retelling some of the stories for early readers. This book meant a lot to me as a little girl, so it was a lovely challenge to return to the jungle of my childhood imaginings and try to capture it as an adult. When I was little I drew Mowgli's jungle with purples, blues, and teals, so I tried to stick with my old color palate when I did these new illustrations.
