My Final Major Project

In my Final Major Project I will be creating a Children's Book. I want to target my book at an age range of 5 - 8 year olds. I want my book to help children through feelings of anxiety. 
It will be 210mm x 210mm and will be 32 full colour pages long which includes a matt laminated cover. The artwork will be created using Water Colour Paint and Colouring Pencils.  
My books artwork will be put on InDesign to structure the layout and will be professionally printed to give it a perfect and professional finish. I will use a font that is clear and easy to read, yet has a playful character to it with some curving to the letters. 

My book is called Just Ride Through It and is about a young boy named Saxon who suffers from separation anxiety. He fears going to school and leaving his Mum. When he looks at the school his view of it changes and the school turns into a deep, dark forest.
On Monday, he complains of feeling sick, not wanting to go to lessons, not being able to play with other children and wanting to go home. At the end of the day Saxon goes home and tells his mother how he doesn’t like school.
On Tuesday, Saxon wakes up feeling scared again. By the time he gets to school he gets quite upset. Saxon’s mother explains to him that what he is feeling is called anxiety and that it can’t hurt him if he doesn’t allow it to. She tells him to be brave and 'Just ride through it.'
Taking on his mother’s advice, Saxon decides he will ride a race car through his anxiety, and feels much better as he’s sped very fast through the feelings.
On Wednesday, he rides a giraffe through his anxiety. He’s so high up he looks over his feelings of anxiety and feels much better.
On Thursday, he rides a roller coaster. He’s doing too many flips and having too much fun to feel anxious.
On Friday, he rides a space ship. When you’re up in space it’s hard to think about being anxious.
By the end of the week Saxon has found a way to overcome his feelings of anxiety. He’s happy to go into school, go to his lessons and play with other children.
