Books don't need batteries

I was commissioned by author Sonny Evans to illustrate his wonderful story, Books Don't Need Batteries. 

 

In a world besotted with electronic devices, this book resonates with parents and kids alike. It tells the story of how Paige, a living book, finds a way to compete with Sal, a resident mobile phone. Sal's so impressed with himself and attention-seeking (unfortunately, just like a real smart phone), it's hard for Paige to be heard. Believing in the power of imagination and the importance of reading, Paige shows us why books continue to be special in our digital world.​

Books Don't Need Batteries is a Mom’s Choice Awards® (MCA) Gold Recipient - a globally recognised and trusted mark of excellence in family-friendly media, products and services.
