Description

The Fairytale Hairdresser meets Thumbelina in this fairytale with a modern twist. It's almost time for the Flower Festival and Kitty Lacey's salon is bursting with people looking for a special floral hairstyle. This is the Flower People's favourite time of year but they have all mysteriously disappeared. All except one- Thumbelina. But when Thumbelina vanishes too, can Kittie save the day with the help of a bluebird, a sprinkle of magic and some fabulous fairytale fashion?

Her work is hand-drawn and coloured both digitally and by hand. Lauren enjoys adding little details to her illustrations appealing to children and adults alike. Lauren lives with her cat, Sushi, who keeps her company when drawing.
