Did you know stars are actually very cuddly to hug?
And that a star toot looks beautiful from Earth - as a shooting star?

These facts and more can be learnt from “My Pet Star”, a funny a sparkling graphic novel for young readers that I’m planning to work on!

A sneak peek into the graphic novel I'm working on and probably have to re write all over again...!

Have you ever had a character you really want to work with but just can't work out a fitting story for it??
