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.

Lucy Dunbar is an illustrator and designer based in Oxfordshire who came to prominence by honouring the likes of The Queen and Matthew Perry with art drawn from behind, always leaving the story open for her viewers to interpret for themselves. Having been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes from the age of two, Lucy temporarily lost her sight in her early twenties. After she'd regained it, she made a promise to herself to draw every day. From that commitment, came her hugely popular online success. She now has an established and fast-growing social media following with 559k followers on Instagram and has appeared on Radio 4's Saturday Live and Lorraine Kelly. This is her first book.
