Zera’s Sparkling Saving
The Quest For A Shinny Red Bicycle
Jade was commissioned to illustrate Zera’s Sparkling Saving – The Quest for a Shiny Red Bicycle, a children’s book that introduces young readers to the concept of financial management. Set on the sunny island of Singapore, Jade brought the story to life with vibrant scenes featuring local landmarks, from neighborhood parks and toy shops to the iconic Gardens by the Bay. She ensured each backdrop felt familiar and culturally grounded, adding a strong sense of place.
Throughout the book, Jade focused on expressive character work, particularly in portraying Zera and her parents, to enhance the story’s emotional depth and pacing. Using a bright, colorful palette, the illustrations aim to captivate children’s attention while keeping the theme light, fun, and age-appropriate.
The book is currently in the process of publication.
