Promo video here. Book Eating Boy and To Catch a Star are planned to be made next. Thanks to Em Bennett for the heads up.

Do yourself a favour and check out a preview of the book here.

I’m really liking this series of paintings by Amberlee Rosolowich. Reminds me of the classic poem Jim, Who ran away from his nurse and was eaten by a lion…
