This is Yokka and her bird Zeppy...
After the death of her beloved pet bird Zeppy, the big-hearted Yokka wants to remember her friend in the coolest way she knows: by getting a tattoo! But even though she can't get one yet, she's in for a fun journey of discovery.

Children of all ages will be enchanted and delighted by this original story about love, memory, and appreciating the beauty around us. Its funny and moving narrative is beautifully complemented by Emiel Steenhuizen's impressive ink drawings—inspired by his many years of experience as a tattoo artist. "I worked hard to give the images a real 'tattoo feel' by using only analog methods and traditional materials like Indian ink," says Emiel. “Since becoming a father, I’ve wanted to write a story that conveys my love of tattooing to my daughter, and I’m very happy to finally be able to share it with everyone.”
