Why can't I see God?

Why Can't I See God?, a children's book by Kavitha Amarnath about an inquisitive child unravelling her curiosity: book illustration featured by Atma Studios, an illustration house in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India.

Why can't I see God? 

I am excited to share a children's book that I have worked on and will soon be publishing. In addition to branding work, I was keen to explore children's book illustrations. Somehow, this exploration evolved into this heartwarming children's book. The theme of the book is very close to my heart and inspired by the innocent and yet deep questions that my children ask me.

Here is Komal, the main character. She is a young girl who innocently wonders why she can't see God. The story follows Komal's journey through a busy and a very exciting day.
