Dagobert is a 32 page picture book about a lonely mouse who survives a flood brought about by magical means. Dagobert lives beneath the floor of a house where he observes the homeowners having grand parties, and yearns for the same companionship. He borrows discarded trinkets in an attempt to furnish his own party and attract possible guests. Things take a dangerous turn when he steals an oyster, and upon cracking it open, unleashes a seemingly endless flood. What strange and wonderful things will he find in this newborn sea? How does he navigate disaster while making friends along the way?
Dagobert explores themes of displacement, uncertainty, friendship, loneliness, and myth. It is rendered in cut paper collage.
