Marmaduke

Written and illustrated by Catherine Booth. A heart-warming children’s story inspired by the joy of dance, celebration of friendship, and the possibility of dreams coming true. Marmaduke is not like any other bird. Every morning after a cooling dip in the lake, he flies to the rooftop of the Royal Ballet School in Covent Garden and spends his days watching the dancers rehearse. His dream of performing on the stage himself is seemingly impossible, until one day when he meets a little girl who shares his passion, and the two unlikely friends set out to fulfil their dreams. Gouache and pencil crayon on hot press paper. See more at: https://catherineboothillustration.co.uk/portfolio/2022/marmaduke-bird-ballerina-childrens-book-royal-ballet
