My goal is to write children’s books when I get out of school. As a child, I was always making up stories and characters. For this piece, I wanted to convey a sleepy, whimsical feeling. I love cool colors, so I incorporated blues and purples to create a snowy, wintry atmosphere. The child is wearing dragon pajamas, alluding to the dragon constellation in the background. I wanted the child’s dreams to be represented in the sky.
Children sleep soundly
in warm winter pajamas—
snowman guards their dreams.
