Milkweed 2

Milkweed 2
Illustrator

The first illustration I drew presents Janina’s silhouette while see was getting kidnapped by the Nazis. It started with Janina noticing her family in a boxcar, heading to the concentration camp. When she was running towards the train wagon, a Nazi worker rushed her to the wagon too. As the train was leaving, Misha “saw” Janina’s silhouette flying, being free. He wondered if she is happy because she’ll see her family again. This moment of the book was extremely touching, because he realized he was alone again. It showed how people can attach to others in a really short time. He loved his new family, and now he was about to lose it.



The second illustration shows the two main characters sad and crying because of their friend’s death. In the picture you can spot Olek hanging from the lantern. I chose to draw this as the second illustration because it truly shows the situation during Second World War and what kids had to go through. Losing a colleague in this age is extremely depressing and unfortunate.

I'm sorry for my bad drawing.
