A moving and uplifting story about struggle against adversity and the kindness of strangers. 10% of the profits from the sale of the book go to The Trussell Trust, supporting a network of 435 foodbanks across the UK.
Duncan is a freelance illustrator based in Bristol, UK. He has been doodling and drawing since way back in the early 1980s, lying on his parents' living room floor, grasping a felt tip in his clammy little fist, through to his current profession, grasping a Wacom stylus in his clammy little fist.
