Bøger af Sarah Leamy

Have you ever wondered what it's like to clean up after a hurricane in Florida? Where those dirt roads in Colorado will take you? How to build an adobe and strawbale home by hand? What to expect riding your motorcycle across the States with stilts strapped on the seat? How to keep your mouth shut when living at a Buddhist monastery in England? Or what to wear for your first day at Clown School?

Sarah continues to entertain with these quirky and whimsical characters in Before Coffee/ Before Kibble. Simply drawn, insightful and empathic, her style appeals to all ages. This time in the series, the focus has shifted slightly to life with the four-leggeds, Harold, Rosie, and Stevie. Sarah is an award-winning novelist, a non-stop wanderer, and a cartoonist currently based in Vermont.

Meet Little Stevie. He was once a foundling feral kitten who is now an adept traveling cat. He took to life in the camper van and hiked with the two dogs, explored mountain lakes, and even ocean beaches. The Northwest became a second home. This is his story. www.dirtroadsanddogs.com

Before Coffee is a collection of comics inspired by the pets and two-legged folks in Sarah's version of New Mexico. It's an odd place, such a variety of people and pets, kinda crazy yet friendly, so enjoy their world. www.sarahleamy.com

Exploring New Mexico over the last twenty years has given Sarah a great sense of the most unique camping sites, hiking trails, rivers, mountains, lakes and back roads. Whether you're an armchair traveler or keen to follow in their tracks, you'll be inspired by the photographs and brief descriptions of the lakes and national forests.

"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?"--
