Fluffy




A graphic novel of love, despair and happiness which will have you laughing out loud one minute and pondering the meaning of life the next.

Fluffy is story of unanswerable questions, love, despair, adventure and happiness. Fluffy is a baby rabbit who is being looked after by an anxious, single man called Michael Pulcino. Michael tries to make it clear to Fluffy that he is not his daddy, but Fluffy appears to be in denial. Michael is being pursued by Fluffy's nursery school teacher, and partly to escape her, he and Fluffy set off to visit his family in Sicily.

Will Michael escape her? Will Fluffy come to terms with the reality that he is not a human being? All is at least partly resolved in Simone Lia's utterly irresistible graphic novel.

Praise for Fluffy

Lia's pages are innovative and varied... compulsively readable

Guardian

Simone Lia transforms what at first looks like another of her appealing children's books into an unpredictable and reflective human drama, while never losing her childlike playfulness... The result is a unique parable about the loving bunny inside us all

Daily Telegraph

A humorous, beautiful tale about love, anxiety and adventure
