Together

　　A gentle and philosophical look at what we can learn from difficult times, paired with beautiful illustrations
 
　　Used to drawing out on location, the lockdown of 2020 suddenly limited artist Luke Hawker's day to day work. Like many of us he spent months at home, and, unable to go out and about found himself inspired to depict the day to day effects of the extraordinary challenges unfolding across the world.
 
　　Together takes a gentle and philosophical look at the events of 2020. Using the metaphor of a monumental storm, we follow a man and his dog through the uncertainty and change that it brings to their lives. Through their eyes we see the difficulties of being apart, the rollercoaster of emotions that we have all shared, and the realisation that by pulling together we can move forward with new perspective, hope, and an appreciation of what matters most in life.
 
　　Drawing on themes of empathy, kindness, and appreciating nature and the people around us, Together is a beautiful book that we can all relate to.
