A rainbow baby is a baby born after pregnancy loss 💗. I’ve shared this story, written by Bec Nanayakkara, with family and friends, and quite a few of them have then shared their own experience with me. Last year, even my 90 year old grandad told me about his and my grandma’s loss through tears. Commonly, they said they wished they had something like this when they needed it 💗 Grow Big, Little Seed comes out next week! You can grab a signed copy from my sh0p or find it in all good bookstores near you on April 3rd 🌱 #illustration #papercut #paperart #rainbowbaby #growbiglittleseed #paperartists

I made a leafy Grow Big, Little Seed window display at Where the Wild Things Are bookshop in West End, Brisbane! If you’re local pls come have a peek! ☺️☺️ also big thank you to the bookshop for letting me put sticky tape and paper all over your window for my debut picture book 💗 Grow Big, Little Seed is about a little girl, called Nina, going through the trials and tribulations of growing a plant 💗🌱. Even though she tries her very best to nuture her seedling, things don’t turn out the way she’d hoped, and by no fault of her own, her seedling doesn’t grow. Nina takes the time she needs, and slowly works up the courage to try again 💗. This tender, hopeful story for young families about pregnancy, loss, and long awaited rainbow babies was written so beautifully by Bec Nanayakkara and she has woven these two narratives together perfectly. Signed copies are available on my sh🌸p, international shipping is available 💗 #illustration #papercut #paperart #rainbowbaby #growbiglittleseed #plants #paperplant
