Nine Lives Newton

by Alice McKinley

'Brimming with charm' –? Benji Davies, creator of The Storm Whale. If Newton's got nine lives, he can be a daring dog of danger! Or can he. . .? Meet Newton – the dog who thinks he has nine lives and infinite luck. And if Newton has nine lives, then that means he can do all his favourite things but be MUCH more daring. But what if Newton's got it all wrong and he's not quite as invincible as he thinks he is?

About the author

I write and illustrate children’s books in my studio at the bottom of my garden in Leamington Spa, and I started my publishing career designing baby board books, pop up books, young fiction and picture books. I have had the good fortune to have worked with brilliant companies such as Andersen Press, Little Tiger Press, Nobrow and Wonderbly and I have worked at some of the top children’s illustration agencies too! I know, I’m pretty jammy.

In 2015, I quit designing books so I could chase my dreams of becoming an illustrator and I graduated from the Children’s Picture book Illustration MA at the Cambridge School of Arts in 2018. Since then I have been busily working away doing what I love most; Drawing dogs and getting paid for colouring in.

Damn cute book and the art is brilliant.

It's interesting to see how the dog (optimist can-do attitude) was doing quite well going head on with new risks, which in the consequences were transferred and felt by the cat (realist).
