Todó tells about kindergarten

The story is about a 6 year old boy (Todo) who tells about the adventures of kindergarten. Kindergarten teachers, fighting, weeping, meals, toilet, poo. These and similar topics are included in the book.

For each chapter I made a big illustration and many small drawings that were placed in the text.

I came across general single-sided illustrations. I like the text and the picture to be better integrated, so more drawings extend to the other side.

The son of my girlfriend who was just as old as the main character of the book was a great help in creating. He was as old as the protagonist of the book. The scenes from the book were familiar to him.
He was my main critic, tracking the images every day. His favorite was the illustration where the little boy is sitting in the toilet.

This is the scene when one of the boys is saying something ugly about Todo's Mom. I didn't really want to write text in the picture. That's why Todo's mother got into the text bubble.

Here I had to draw a kindergarten teacher who was angry with Todo. That's why he's gloomy.

There is a scene in the book where the girls pull their panties in front of the boys. I was thinking a lot about how to show it. Finally, I decided to portray the scene concisely.

Do you know the story of the Bremen Musicians? Todo tells this story in the kindergarten.

I worked for the book for about half a year.
