First solo book launch! It went well overall. @booksofwonder.bsky.social was super gracious. I brought chaiya, Parle-G biscuits, and Frooti mango juice to keep the themes of my book(“Home, Home”). And, I brought some originals to show process✨✨🙌🏾

I have a day job. It’s long and tiring, but I get some illustrating in at lunch. I’m grateful to have both.

My author/illustrator debut, “Home, Home,” is out in the world!
Its available here(dealer’s choice):

“Home, Home” is about identity and family and chaiya and I hope you love it🙏🏾✨

First post! My name is Sibu, I’m an illustrator (soon to add “author” to that😏) Children’s and middle grade books. I like food and horror movies so those pictures will probably find their way here too. Come peep Sibudraws.com
