Chasing Comets

A short children's book pitch I did this past semester!! Tells the story of a girl and her journey to chase--and catch-- a comet. She must overcome doubt and misunderstanding to hopefully reach her goal and achieve what many think to be impossible.

the second to last image is not technically part of this pitch but that image appears in the storyboard so I thought it would be good to include it. it started this thing <3

"Then we locked ourselves in the room. Just us, just the two of us.

She was accompanied by a black dog.

I asked her to strip naked. Then I did the same. Her white skin. My trembling hand. A trace. Lots of traces. Imprinted light. A photo. Whatever it is that will make sure of our presence."
