Rain Pierre’s vinyl wrap design for a wall in the children’s corner of Surrey Libraries - Clayton branch shows the phases and energy of the moon and sun. Pierre says, “The sun beaming on the children using this room will give them energy to learn and study. Each morning we are given an opportunity to create a new day with love and inspiration.” The mother bear and her cubs represent family and unity.
