The Giant’s Garden


The book is a retelling of The Selfish Giant. It is a heart-warming story about the giant transforming from being selfish to being generous, and who finally finds happiness.

The original story is full of imagery about seasons and weathers, and the book itself is an exploration of how much settings could contribute to storytelling in this project. It is also my MA project at Cambridge School of Art.

Children had a lot of fun in the garden.


The Giant built a high wall all around and allowed nobody to play inside.



When spring came, in the Giant's garden it was still winter.


The Giant's heart melted and he felt something there had changed.
