"My Rooky Book" is a series of books written by Tristan Motteram for his wife, Helen. I am thoroughly enjoying illustrating these and have just completed book no.1! This book is a heart-warming story about a girl and her rescue rook, Russell. Book no.1 introduces you to Helen and Russell and shares their funny, often difficult relationship that is always filled with love. These books are cleverly written with a quirky nature and rhyme similar to the work of Dr Seuss. I am currently working on book no.2 which follows Russell on his Christmas adventure.
