Fledgling

Extracts from Fledgling, a storybook

This picture book is a story of growing up different, of 'learning to find your wings.' Based upon a dream I had when I was younger of falling out of my nest, the story depicts a young girl falling from her nest, going to school and longing to learn to fly, unable to fit in in school. The style was inspired hugely by Beatrice Alemagna, using collage of different textures, illustration styles and photographs.
