Sunny Lullaby ("Сонячна Колискова") is an animated short created as part of the "Graphic Battalion for Children" volunteer initiative. Designed to offer gentle psychological support, the film uses soothing melodies and soft imagery to help children relax, reduce anxiety, and find a sense of safety before sleep.
The film’s aesthetic is rooted in Samchykivka art, a unique Ukrainian folk style. We utilized its vibrant yet harmonious colors and dynamic floral ornaments to build a therapeutic visual world. Every element serves a purpose: transforming traditional symbolism into a safe, magical space for young viewers.
