Adults need picture books, too! A stunning, full-color debut gift book from renowned artist Amber Fossey (@zeppelinmoon), whose whimsical illustrations and clever witticisms reveal the universal struggle and happy magic of being a perfectly imperfect human being.

Do you hear the beasts scratching at the door? They’ve been sleeping too long, and now they’re getting feisty.

Through a mash-up of poetry, comic fiction and watercolor illustrations, this beautiful picture book for adults weaves a narrative of how we can all become wild and free again. Looking at life through the eyes of Sloth, Bear, Koala, and even Blob Fish, these animals tell the stories of the raw beauty of life on our planet, encouraging us to let go of fear, stick our fingers/paws up at societal pressure, and love ourselves and one another with abandon.

Product description

Review

"If you know someone who needs to be reminded of how wonderful they are, I highly encourage you to give them a copy of this magical little book." — BARBARA DOYLE, SWEATPANTS & COFFEE BOOK REVIEW

About the Author

Amber Fossey worked as a doctor in the National Health Service for fourteen years until carving a new career as an artist. She specialized in forensic psychiatry, working with severely mentally ill offenders in prisons, secure hospitals, and the community. She is driven by a deep-rooted compassion for those whom society rejects, mistreats, and ignores, and for those suffering mental anguish. She believes all souls, human and animal, deserve to be loved and treated as equals. This manifests in her art where she often champions the unloved, the feared and the endangered. Amber regularly escapes to a magical world to befriend and listen to animals - and likes to take you there too. She lives in the UK.

Amber Fossey is the NHS-doctor-turned-artist behind Zeppelinmoon, the hugely popular Instagram account and Etsy store with 200k followers. As an expert in mental health, her uplifting and wickedly funny illustrated stories of weird and wonderful creatures are inspired by her experiences with all the dark & glorious facets of the human spirit and a fascination with animals.

Throughout Amber's 12-year career in psychiatry she worked with severely mentally ill patients in hospitals, prisons and the community, and encountered the grey areas of sanity. She is driven by a deep-rooted compassion for those that society rejects, mistreats and ignores and for those suffering mental anguish. She believes all souls, human and animal, deserve to be loved and treated as equals. This manifests in her art where she often champions the unloved, the feared and the endangered.

In her debut book, Amber brings together many of her favourite characters from the Zeppelinmoon Instagram account. They tell a story about love and compassion, making us laugh along the way with her trademark cheeky style.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A fine book by a very talented artist.

    I pre-ordered this as soon as I heard about it because I follow the artist on Instagram and I know how talented and witty she is. I haven't been able to shelve it after reading it because everybody in my family wants to read it, although one member has purchased her own copy. Amber Fossey, the artist, is a very compassionate human being who loves animals and cares deeply about those who have not been very fortunate in life. This shines through in her humor and in her superb watercolor paintings of the animals she loves so much. I highly recommend this book, and I also recommend following her at @zeppelinmoon on Instagram.

    This book is a beautiful mix of emotional narrative and cracking comedy. The flow of the book was exceptional , highs and lows blended so fluidly and I'd say it was one of the best poetry/artistic books I've ever read. This book is definitely for a mature audience because of the swearing but it's all in good heart. I'd recommend this to anyone who needs a little pick me up :)

    I have followed Amber’s artwork for a little. I have a rain frog in his jumper print hanging in my teen daughter’s bathroom and have already ordered the 2025 calendar for my daughter. Keep it going, Amber!

    I love this book already! I was super excited to receive it and counted down the days since I preordered it. I’ve been a big fan of her work for a while now and purchased a couple of her paintings, so when I heard there was going to be a book I couldn’t have been more excited! It’s honest, sweet and absolutely unique. It’s touching and funny at the same time. If you like her art, your going to love love love her book! If you’re unsure, check out her Instagram page to know what you’re getting yourself into 😄
    Note: this is not a book for children!
