Who is Polly?
Polly's Brolly is set in Papua New Guinea and features Polly, a female Eclectus Parrot. They are unusual in that Male and Female have very different plumage. They are known for being friendly and can be trained to speak.
All the birds and habitats that Polly encounters in the story are in context of the diverse geography and landscapes of her home country.
Where did the idea come from?
The idea came from a doodle I did of a parrot. It looked so miserable and I wondered why it was so unhappy. Then I thought about parrots living in the rain forest and maybe hating the rain. So I drew an umbrella to cheer it up.Â
I realized that to try and escape your environment is a difficult thing and Polly would need to overcome not just her environment, but her own reactions to it.
