I did this illustration during my quarantine time, when @edobrenes and I returned to Costa Rica earlier than planned due to the pandemic. The last couple of months had been chaotic for us, but I’m very happy to be back home ❤️ // Hice esta ilustración durante mi tiempo de cuarentena, cuando Edo y yo regresamos a Costa Rica antes de lo planeado debido a la pandemia. Los últimos meses han sido caóticos para nosotros, pero estoy muy feliz de estar de vuelta en casa. #limitedcolorpalette #childrensbookillustration #kidlitart #quarantine #costarica (en Costa Rica) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB3UtirD63w/?igshid=uld6r4z17ik6
