ABOUT

As part of Book Week Scotland 2021, I was asked to adapt a non-fiction piece by Rachael Crofts into a short comic. The theme of the festival for this particular year was 'Celebration'- and what better way to celebrate than with the rescue of some adorable seal pups! Dobble quickly wiggled his way into my heart, as I am certain he will for everyone who reads his story! From the Scottish Book Trust Instagram:
"Enjoy @hesitantdoodle's brilliant adaptation of Rachel Crofts' Celebration story 'A Sealabration'.

About her tale Rachel said 'I was inspired by a series of events that took me far out of my comfort zone and ultimately had a happy ending for all involved.'

Hesitant Doodle is an illustrator and comic artist based in Scotland. Please check out their amazing work.

This fantastic tale is one of many stories and poems included in our Celebration book. There are 50,000 copies of the book out there in the wild. You can track one down at your library or nearest bookshop. We also have an audiobook and e-book to enjoy."
