Min’s Robot
Charmaine Mah
Min is a rambunctious and inventive girl who disregards the feelings of others when she is up to her inventive shenanigans.
In an attempt to befriend someone who understands her, Min builds a robot that acts just like her.
However, when the robot mirrors her self-centred habits, she finally realizes how she has hurt the children in her neighbourhood.
In my last semester, my goal was to create a children’s book dummy based on a concept that I started a year prior.
I wanted to create a character like Min to show children that it is never too late to consider others, learn from your mistakes, take accountability, and become a better person.
I brought my project to the book dummy phase in the hopes that it may be published in the future. Below are the pages that were brought to completion.

Children’s Book Illustrations
In addition to Min’s Robot, I also illustrated a hand full of other children’s book concepts this semester. Featuring a range of subjects, I focused on creating whimsical illustrations full of wonder and play!
