“Leif Gets Left” is my first authorial children’s book concept, completed from November-December 2025.
It follows the story of Leif, a young viking who wants to go on an adventure on his Dad’s boat more than anything, but he is never allowed to go.
What follows next is a story of independence, determination, and maybe, just maybe, the realisation that staying home might not be so bad...
This project resulted in a 24-page dummy book concept, with 3 final interior spreads, a finished cover and accompanying
rough interior spreads, as well as a finalised endpaper and title page design.
