Lionesses. Us. Can't you just see it Ellie? Someday, you and me — we'll do great things. We'll live life for ourselves. And we will help others. We are cubs now, maybe. But we will grow to be lionesses. Strong women who will make things happen. - THE LION WOMEN OF TEHRAN by Marjan Kamali

I'd love to work on more book illustration btw! Feel free to email me at [email protected] for inquiries~

"It would be the saddest thing, princess. To walk separately from you, when the ground will let us go as we always did."
