Sebastian by Ross Addison, illustrated by Susannah Lewis
is available now in hard & soft covers from here
​

Picture
   Los Angeles has been the setting for a wide range of
   fiction genres, but none quite as distinctive as this
   magical tale.   One-part family saga, one-part tragic love
   story, one-part magic realist tale; there has never, in our
   opinion, been a story quite like ‘Sebastian’.
 
   Introducing the eponymous foundling pigeon who is 
   rescued from under a parked car on Robertson
   Boulevard by Libby, a passing carer whose client,
   Adelaide an ageing widow, becomes Sebastian’s
   guardian.  Adelaide’s son-in-law, Daniel, in turn
   introduces Sebastian to Basie, his German Shepherd,
   who came into his life after the death of his wife, Sarah,
   Adelaide’s daughter.  As Sebastian grows in strength,
   and Adelaide’s life draws to a close, the humans and the
   animals discover new perspectives on their pasts and
   the present, and the courage and strength to face their
   futures. 
 
   ‘Sebastian’ shows us a Los Angeles as she is rarely seen.     The illustration and design by Susannah Lewis echo the
    text’s crisp realism to produce a profoundly poetic
    narrative.
