This book is made using paper cutting. The clothes worn by the rabbit are made from wrapping paper. She uses both tearing paper by hand and cutting by scissors. When she wants to express fine details or subtle nuances, she uses scissors rather than her hands. However, when she wants to express the rabbit's body in a fluffy way, she uses her hands.
The idea of using paper cutting is unique and well-suited for children's books. It offers a different artistic expression that makes the story feel warmer and more engaging. Using paper cutting gives a sense of solidity rather than drawing. Sena uses wrapping paper and newspaper in her book that familiar with our everyday lives.
