“You’re not allowed to go out without your hat on! Your ears will freeze and fall off.” says Addi’s grandmother. But who wants a hat when you have a big, round, nice afro? Not Addi, anyway! So instead he takes his snowracer and runs out. And when the forest animals sees his hair, it will be a winter day neither of them will forget.
Addis afro is a book written by Jali Madi Susso and illustrated by me, Felicia Fortes. Published in January 2024 by Bonnier Carlsen in Sweden.
This is my debut as a children’s book illustrator. A wonderful collaboration with Jali Madi Susso and the publishing house. I worked with aquarelle, gouache, and color pencils.
