I made a new book!
Absolutely loved working on this story of a little snail, who knew that I life of beige and brown was not for him. Gavin the Glamour Snail is such a sweet and inspiring story by Louise McGettrick who shows readers that they can celebrate their differences.
I loved drawing Gavin and his friends, I hope you like meeting him!
