The Bird That Wants to Boogie

Longlisted for World Illustration Awards 2025.

Created during my MA Children's Book Illustration with watercolour, inks, and collage.

On a school trip to a tropical greenhouse, a young girl's curiosity gets the better of her and she unleashes a friendly looking bird from it's cage. The pair find their groove and share their biggest moves. But do they dare to take to start the big jungle party that we've all been waiting for?
