Gritty and heartening, these fables give us a magical look at critters, creativity and life itself."-Denise Ryan (award-winning journalist and essayist)"Unconditional love for animals, art, words, and weirdness-a treat for us good humans."-Kayleigh Marinelli (The Fantastic Fabricated Life of Lyle Parker)"Here is a mad romp into the lives of animals that has elevated this human's consciousness to the point of bursting with sight and sound, taste and smell-what it is to touch the world in a more pure way; a work of expansive, fundamental empathy."-Miriam McEwen (Editor at South Carolina Review and the Swamp)"Genuine animal-sprinkled stories that will suck you in."-Gina Tron (Employment)

STAY is a hybrid visual story of a British tomboy & clown negotiating place/identity, trauma/neurodiversity, friendship/play, sexuality, and violence. Mixing illustration, photography, and narrative non-fiction, this experimental work transcends the binary, bravely imagining a world that makes space for all of us. What happens when an awkward and shy tomboy doesn't always feel safe at home or at school? Leamy has fantasies of another life-and at 18 she finally takes flight. She leaves her small town to study languages and migration patterns in London before setting out with a rucksack, teddy bear (John), and juggling toys to hitch across Europe and the States. Leamy begins to wonder: Will she ever find her people, her place, her purpose? Or will each new home be forever as inconsistently hospitable as the first?
