This narrative takes place inside the reader's imagination, feelings and personality. While the character is semi-autobiographical, it is meant to be easily relatable to all readers. The character has a cute, funny, human quality that encourages readers to look into their own lives and sense of self. The illustrations are unique and original. They possess a sense of humour that is conveyed to the reader. The story is both relevant to today's society while being meaningful to individuals.

About the Author
Mrs Shepherd has been drawing and making up stories for as long as she can remember. Mrs Shepherd's writing style comes from her experiences with mental health and how this affects moods, the way she takes on quirks, and views the world. She finds inspiration for her illustrative style in the people around her, the weird, wonderful folk she meets on her travels, and of course, from her own imagination.
