''What Are They Looking At?'' was honoured with the BRAW Amazing Bookshelf Award at the Bologna International Children's Book Fair in 2024, featured in the Unpublished Showcase 3
by dPICTUS, and further awarded by the Greek IBBY and the EVGE Design Awards in 2025. 

 

The idea for What Are They Looking At? was born when my three-year-old son mistook someone's leg cast for a sock and asked why they weren't wearing a shoe. Seeing that he was confused and a little scared, I made up a comforting, playful story: melting ice cream had dripped onto the shoe, leaving it covered in spots, so it had to be taken off, leaving just the sock. 
Building on this idea, I came up with the concept for a picture book filled with imaginative answers to children's unexpected questions. As the idea developed, it centred around the question,
'What are they looking at?' I made up creative explanations based on everyday life and imaginary worlds, and I brought them to life using cut-outs that offered a sneak peek at the next page.
