Ek Tha Mohan & Bapu ki Pati

ITM University, Gwalior commissioned us to illustrate and design two sets of books for the Bihar Government on the life of Mahatma Gandhi. This would act as supplementary reading material for children in the state government schools. We worked closely with Sopan Joshi, who generated textual content for the book. The format and illustration style were dictated by the fact that it was meant for young readers and a limited palette was used to keep production costs low. Both books explore Gandhi’s formative years and some keys instances that may have led him to contribute to the Freedom Movement in the capacity he did.
