Idea 1: Paddinton and Immigration
The Paddington Bear story first came out on October 13, 1958. This bear traveled on a voyage from Peru, all alone, with only his old leather suitcase. A nice couple, Mr. and Mrs. Brown, who were at the train station waiting for the arrival of their daughter, greeted Paddington with compassion and empathy and took him into their home. He knew no one, had nowhere to go, and was in a completely new place, just as many immigrants are in our country today. For my project, I will retell the Paddington Bear story as if Mr. and Mrs. Brown acted as many do towards immigrants today, with judgment, disrespect, and even hatred. (Additionally, I am thinking about possibly incorporating how it is a common trend today for many to follow a religion and to “live by” its teachings, but not to act with compassion and empathy towards others as the religion tells them to.)
I will create the illustrations on Procreate (if my old iPad still works) or on Adobe Illustrator. I have an idea for the first page to be a large illustration of Paddington's red hat, and you click to view the story.

Idea 2: TBD if Paddington is not approved.
