Combining the notebook format with my own dream journal entries, this notebook is full of colourful illustrations and short stories told from the perspective of Monty the green monkey who acts as a guide and mascot to the book, dispersed between blank note pages to be filled in by the reader. As well as mood stickers and dream meaning pages.

Postie

Children's Pop-Up Book Concept

​

The energetic mail-delivery... thing, Postie goes high and low to deliver his clients mail, speeding through jungles, up and down the tallest mountains and crossing the most dangerous oceans!

Each page is a different snapshot of his adventure, with a mix of traditional book pages, pop-ups and stickers.

Children's Learning Book Concept

ABC-Z! Is a new take on a classic format: the ABC learning book. We go through the alphabet from start to finish with an impatient zebra named Zee, who cannot wait for their letter to show up, unfortunately this means they will be waiting a long, long time.

The book has various interactive elements, such as a fold out page and a page with a wardrobe that when opened reveals flash cards of the letters within.
