Description

A star born with so much excitement about the universe, that they almost forget what they were there for in the first place! "The life of a Star" originally began as a short comic that was created in 2016. It was based around the idea of the suns purpose to provide light to the solar system, combined with the idea that all life has been created purposefully and wonderfully. This is a children's illustration book created individually by Delaney Greaves. The back of the book includes an exclusive peek at the original project (drawn during Delaney's high school/early college years) in comparison to the now finished children's book. Delaney is a self-published artist that focuses in cartooning and storytelling. After graduating with a BFA for animation she is navigating life wherever her art takes her. This has included participating in craft markets, pop-up art galleries, and meeting many amazing faces through her caricature career. You can support her work at
