Are You An Alien? Picture Book

Growing up with a mother who is an artist meant that art and creativity was always encouraged in my childhood home. We had baskets full of art supplies, piles of watercolor paper, an assortment of brushes, colored pencils and pens, oil paints, and pastels, available to be used and experimented with.

As I child I spent hours lying on my stomach on my bedroom floor, drawing animals and illustrating bright scenes from favorite stories and fairytales. I grew up loving books and the rich worlds they held between their covers, and always imagined creating my own.

Published by Chapeltown UK, Are You An Alien? is the combination of my mother’s visual artistry and my love of words, and our lifelong intention to create a picture book together. With the help of a few African animals and little Makhosi, and the beautiful curiosity she brings to every page.

This book is about wonder and seeking, and how learning about other earthlings can teach you amazing things about yourself. Are You An Alien? is available on Barnes & Noble, Waterstones UK, Booktopia, Australia, and other online retailers.
