The dragon features expressive eyes, layered scales, and flowing mane details, while each character wears simple robes and carries lanterns or props, evoking cultural storytelling and inclusive participation. The artwork, created by Sam Bell for Tracey Cox’s book *Shaping Up the Year*, balances simplicity with narrative depth.
