Tianas Thoughts gets Tangled in Knots
Tiana’s Thoughts Get Tangled in Knots is an illustrated children’s story that brings the inner world of a young girl’s imagination to life. Through expressive visuals and playful storytelling, the book follows Tiana as her thoughts swirl, twist, and tangle into overwhelming knots, turning everyday moments into an emotional and imaginative journey.

About
As Tiana navigates school, friendships, and the fast-moving world around her, the story transforms her feelings into vivid, relatable imagery that young readers can instantly connect with. With warmth, charm, and gentle humour, the narrative captures the experience of having a busy mind while celebrating resilience, comfort, and self-discovery.
The project highlights my practice in children’s illustration, character storytelling, and visual world-building, using narrative imagery to translate abstract emotions into a whimsical and engaging story experience for young audiences.
