“King Leonard is so rich that he can buy whatever he wants. Anything old or broken is thrown onto the growing pile of rubbish outside his castle. But one day something breaks that can’t be easily replaced. And what’s worse, King Leonard can’t find anyone who knows how to fix it”

What can children do when their favourite toys are broken? And what can we all do to cut down on how much we buy and throw away? ‘King Leonard’s Teddy’, Phoebe Swan’s new picture book for children is a classic story about attachment, which through its wonderful illustrations also shows us all how small actions can have a big impact on our environment.

We first met Phoebe Swan at the Curve Garden when she was teaching at Holy Trinity Primary School in Dalston. We are delighted that just a few years later she has chosen to launch her special book here on Saturday 9 March, 2-4pm. The free event includes drop-in family workshops making funky patchwork pencil cases, Phoebe will be reading from ‘King Leonard’s Teddy’ and you will also be able to buy copies of the book.

Phoebe grew up in Hackney and was encouraged to 'make it yourself', helping her Dad rescue things from skips to be turned into works of art. She made her first illustrated book at the age of 5! She studied Children's Book Illustration and now teaches Illustration and Graphics at Cambridge School of Visual and Performing Arts.

She explains her Illustration technique:

“I started making a lot of illustrations using lino print whilst on the MA in Children's Book Illustration. However with this project, because there are a lot of details I developed a digital technique, 'carving' into layers of scanned textures in Photoshop with the eraser, to re-create the lino print effect. This gave me a lot more flexibility to change things and move them around.”

Phoebe describes some of the inspiration behind ‘King Leonard’s Teddy’:

“I came across an article about an old toy hospital that after the recession was suddenly doing more business as people wanted to have their toys repaired, rather than buying new ones. I thought this sounded like good material for a children’s story. Then on a holiday I did a lot of drawing and when I wrote the story, I based Leonard’s home on a castle on a hill in Portugal. In the book I replaced the hill with the pile of rubbish!”

Phoebe hopes her book will help show children and their families how to reduce waste and look after the environment:

“There is value in learning to fix and make things yourself. Most of us don’t think about how much we waste; our rubbish is collected regularly, so it’s easy to forget. The pile of rubbish surrounding Leonard’s castle helps us to visualise what the accumulation of all that stuff would look like. Small actions such as repairing an object instead of buying a new one might not seem like they will make much difference to the environmental crisis the world is facing, but if everyone made the effort, it would add up to a big impact.”
