The Stolen Button
No full textThe Stolen Button is a fully illustrated 48-page book intended for a young teenage audience. It represents multicultural stories in an Australian landscape and contains dark themes in an imaginative space portraying an exotic other, a wilderness, and a place to face demons, spirits, and foes. Referencing the Silk Road as an historical location and cultural melting point where East meets West, the book mimics a hybrid garden of Chinese stories from childhood memories of the author mixed with illustrative elements from the illustrator’s Persian painting background. The format inventively mixes a large picture-book style usually found in pre-reader texts, with sophisticated themes, story, and language relevant to an advanced reader to question notions of coming-of-age, belonging and cultural identity. Created using a hybrid style of traditional ink and watercolour used in ancient Chinese and Persian artworks, coupled with contemporary digital techniques, the artworks express innovation through this intercrossing. The Stolen Button won second place in the Queensland Children’s and Young Adult Writers and Illustrators Competition in the aspiring picture book category. Illustrations were exhibited across three Brisbane City Council libraries in 2018 and 2019. The author and the illustrator were invited to artist panels and interviewed with local, national, and international magazines including Peril Magazine and BEMAC. A Kickstarter fund raised over $6000 and was published by Rock On Kitty with an initial print run of 1000 copies. There are a number of positive reviews from professionals and general readers on the GoodReads website.No Full Tex
