Description
In an old museum hangs a picture of a man in a suit and tie painted grey—Paul. While everyone around him looks happy and vibrant, Paul is rather plain and feels that he doesn’t belong.
Deciding to leave his frame and search for a new home, Paul takes a journey through sketches, statues, and hieroglyphics, which only makes him feel more out of place. Will Paul ever find belonging, or will he discover that perhaps simplicity is often what makes things special?
Told in rhythmic rhyme, Paul in the Frame is an imaginative story—filled with expressive illustrations showing different artforms—about belonging, self-discovery, and individuality.

About the Author
Adam Martin is an army veteran and full-time dad from New South Wales, Australia. He lives on a small farm, with a chicken who thinks it’s a duck, ducks who think they’re dogs, dogs who think they’re kids, and two kids who think they’re adults. He enjoys reading to his kids, making people laugh, and the idea of sleep.
