Emma's Dream

Emma's Dream is a 34 pages Picture Book. The story is about a little orphan girl living with 6 other kids in an orphanage. She dreams of having her own family, until someday her dream becomes a reality. The illustrations are rendered with graphite pencil, colored pencil, and watercolor. The last page contains important information regarding the orphans' situation worldwide (UNICEF, UNESCO and World Bank)

The dream of every child is to live in a happy family. When a child is separated from their parents, a big hole is created in their hearts. They may end up in an orphanage with other kids who share the same circumstances, but the hole in their hearts needs the nurturing of a family. Emma's Dream is the product of my journey with kids in an orphanage in Mexico. 

To adopt a child is an act of pure love.
