There’s a Stain on My Drawing

Picture book

Sometimes a smudge is all it takes to make big dreams come true!

Max dreams of being a great artist one day, but something seems to threaten his plans… a smudge, then a hole, and even a poo and a terrible alien are about to change the fate of his drawing!

  • A funny story that starts with a sheet of paper and, gag after gag, reveals to us a new adventure into art.

  • Even mistakes can turn into the beginning of something surprising, you just need colours and imagination!
