The Glow Worm, the Wonders and the Moon
-
Here it is – THE KICKSTARTER PROJECT – we have been working on for a while! ? The Glow Worm, the Wonders and the Moon ??? is the book for children about the beauty of being different, the beauty of creatures around us and the beauty of learning how to be open to the world ?
I love working on projects that try to make this world (a tiny bit) better place so I am so proud that Rachael and Marianne, two diversity consultants, invited me to join them in this adventure and to draw the Glow Worm and his friends! This is s/he:
Here you can see some book spreads in English and in French, as we would like to print out the book in both languages!
This is a kickstarter project – so we need to gather the money: 5000 euros, in order to print out the book and get payed! We are almost there and I will edit this post as the time goes <3 Definitely check out our project and a little video that we made for the promotion of it! Support and share if you can – I am so grateful to everyone who supported it already! We can, all together, make this world a better place! Let’s start with kids!

How the Book Covers Are Made?
-
This lovely little video was filmed this August in Novi Sad How the book covers are made? It’s been three years since I’ve been making book covers for Edicija Reka. I think we did a good job and we added some quirkiness to the general book market.
This video was filmed to inspire and hopefully make you read more. One shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover, but a book cover certainly tells a lot about the book.
This is where you can see all the book covers I designed.

Calendar for 2021
-
It seems that we are all waiting for a new year. A better year. I am ready to offer you one (high promises) at least on a paper so here is the calendar for 2021!
I found 12 words – 12 wishes and since this has been my year of French learning I wrote them in French (with English translation as well). Each of those pretty words is represented by an animal that represents it in different ancient (and less ancient) traditions. Magic of a new year and this calendar for 2021!
I wish you a lot of peace, happiness and joy – on recycled paper! There is a limited number of copies so order yours! You can buy this calendar in my SHOP!
Check out my last year calendar.

I truly hope everyone is safe and sound, and I hope you guys are all feeling good at your homes. I know that is isolation, confinement…however you call it is hard, especially when you have had zero contact with your friends and family and when they are far away like in my case. These last couple of weeks I am incredibly grateful for the internet.
I had a bad luck to catch the corona. It all happened just at the beginning of the epidemic and fortunately, thou the whole experience was scary, my symptoms were mild. My body asked me to sleep a lot and I did. My mind asked me to be kind to myself and I did that too. My senses of taste and smell are slowly coming back. I am grateful for the sweet smell of lilac that the spring is offering me and my senses. And that I can actually finally smell.
Last week was very sad for our little community, community that offered me home and love in this time of confinement. And when the loss happens, I sometimes find strength inside to…to give. So this is a gift – from my home to yours – coloring pages that you can print out and well, color. I hope you can turn your brain off and drift away, meditate and hope and imagine better days through the colors and shapes…
These illustrations are reproductions of the drawings I did for #100daysofparis project five years ago. They are the invitations to calm and to visit Paris however you imagine it in that cloud above your head.
Here is the link for the download:
I would love to see your colorful world – when posting on social media, use a tag #coloringtimewithsonja

Calendar for 2020
-
This year I payed attention to not eating tomatoes in February nor strawberries in December. That way, I support local producers, and I follow the rhythm of the nature. This calendar will help you do so (especially if you’re in the Northern hemisphere, if you’re down south, it will just look great on your wall).
Calendar features 12 of Sonja’s fruit and veggie illustrations printed on 250lb opaque bright white paper and spiral bound with a wire-o hanger for easy hang & display.
In my SHOP!

Creative Mornings is an event that happens in over 180 cities around the globe, once a month. It includes breakfast and a lecture. This month I was one of the three people giving that lecture! In French!
I prepared a small speech, practiced it over and over again, prepared the powerpoint, changed it few times, stressed and haven’t slept, changed the opinion about my outfit twice (ended up wearing my favourite shirt) and finally I was there in front of some 60 people doing the best I can do 🙂

What My Girlfriends Told Me, my first book, finally arrived to my doorstep! It was Friday, everyone was preparing for the weekend and I was shaking in excitement to open the package from London and see it!
It’s perfect. I guess that’s what all parents say for their children (until their children start smoking but that’s a totally different subject). I will be posting on all social media small and big moments from the book in the following weeks.
The book is out on March 2nd, 2018 (September Publishing) and if you want to be the first one to read it – this is the link on the: amazon!
