Playground Circus - Picture Book - Paperback
My first picture book! Written by Chrissy Byers and published by Ford St in 2019.
A story about a girl with a wild imagination, a mother lost in smartphone notifications, and a little boy with a blue rabbit. The simple story follows the girl imagining her way through a full blown circus, but the visuals lead us through a number of worlds that come in and out of sync. There are many visual threads for young minds to follow as they re-read the story from different points of view.
The illustrations were created with ink, watercolour, and digital tomfoolery.
