James Norbury meets Raymond Brigg’s The Snowman with a touch of Love, Actually... The first book from a hugely popular new Instagram talent.

For Lucy, hope can be found everywhere – in family, friendships and even the changing of seasons – and in her art, she seeks to capture that magic in every line and brushstroke.

From celebrating the kindness of strangers and commemorating loss to reflections on the passing of time and the beginning of new opportunities as the years turn, Lucy’s work combines beautiful, hand-drawn illustrations with words that speak to the heart.

In this, her first book, she’ll be drawing together a range of her most popular artwork, framing it within a series of intertwined short stories, to create an irresistible and perennially appealing gift, whether it’s for your friend, family, partner or yourself.
