Small Medicine is a speculative fiction short story written by Genevieve Valentine. It follows the life of a young girl, Sofia, and her unique relationship with her "grandmother", who has been cloned and synthetically reproduced into a robot following her death.
This visual development project reinterprets Valentine's story through a child friendly approach. Exploring heavy and complex topics in children's media is not uncommon these days, so I wanted to challenge myself to do the same.

Sofia is later diagnosed with a medical condition and prescribed a medication known as NANIMED, which involves the use of highly effective nanorobot that enter the boy and immediately resolve any health complications.
