My
project aims for the audience to question their own circumstances on whether
they would like to blend in or stick out within a new culture, and inspire them
to find their personal cultural identity. The illustrated storybook titled
“Would You be a Carrot in Beef Stew or Salad?” is narrated from the perspective
of the Carrot. In the book, he visits two towns and is not happy with either of
them. He gets confused and disappointed that he is not sure where he belongs.
He soon realises that the first two options, blending in or sticking out, are
not the only ones, and goes on a journey to find a town that suits him the
best.
I hope this storybook makes you question yourself; Would you be a Carrot
in Beef Stew or Salad?
