A blend of illustration style of The Snowman with Charlie Mackey’s messaging and work woven in, The Book of Gifts celebrates the best bits of the world around us in a style that is completely unique and special to Lucy Claire. It’s full of beautifully hand-illustrated works of art, inspired by events or people that most of us know of or have heard about. It’s both inspiring and reassuring and can be opened on any page and there will most certainly be something that will comfort or bring hope to the reader. Cosy imagery, beautiful words, it serves as a reminder of the magnitude of our words, the world, and our actions.

About The Author
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.
