"I Am Not a Mouse" by Evgenia Golubeva

"I am not a Mouse" is a new book by Escapee Evgenia Golubeva, who took our short course in 3D animation, and has since forged a career as an animator, writer, illustrator and director.

Her new book "I am Not a Mouse" is based on her award-winning short film, and adds book publishing to her already extensive portfolio career.

"I am Not a Mouse" is about a young girl called Olivia - who really doesn’t like her nickname, mostly because it gets her into some sticky situations. How can she persuade her mum to stop using it?
