Illustrated by: Serge Ah-Wong
Serge is a visual artist, curator and Papua New Guinean settler based in Meanjin. Honouring his Motuan and Kairuku lineage, Serge uses portrait painting to express cultural pride, unearthing the complex ways his subjects resist assimilation, colonisation, cultural erasure and euro-centric ideals of beauty. Serge's portraiture is relational; what is painted comes from listening to what matters to people. This is Serge's first illustration of a children's storybook. We are sure you will love his work as much as we do!
