A Story from Africa is the artist's first independent book for children. It is hand printed and hand bound. The illustrations are inspired from sketchbook and were made during the artist first staying in Ghana. They are a result of a collaboration between the children from the remote village, Anyinatiase, and the artist.
The book’s format, 30x40cm, exceeds the format of a classic picture book. The book is printed on 240g/m2 recycling paper and it holds 48 pages. A few pages at the back of the book are blank for sketching. The cover of the book is printed in a relief print (blind printing).
The art book was self-published in 2014 after a successful Kickstarter Campaign.
