Rowley says that he drew on his passion for the sport and his admiration of the stars in creating the Little Heroes collection.
“I’ve grown up with motorsport. Ever since I watched Dick Johnson crash through trees when I was two years old, not a day has passed where I haven’t thought about race cars,” he said.
“The Little Heroes books are my tip of the hat to these five superstars of our Aussie motorsport scene.
“Cartoons and drawings are another life-long love of mine. I guess I've never really grown up! I still love watching cartoons, and I feel there's no better way to celebrate the lives of these great drivers than through illustrations and some easy-to-read poetry.”
Each book features eight original pieces of artwork, directed by Rowley with the outstanding artistic contribution of celebrated design team Avoltha. You can pre-order yours today.
