Robertson enjoys observing and drawing the fashion world in his colorful, kid-friendly, and fun-loving style. He began drawing Mitford on Instagram (@drawbertson) a few years ago, and the long-necked giraffe became the star of his first book, Mitford at the Fashion Zoo . Donald and his family recently moved from New York to sunny California, not far from the Hollywood Zoo.

"I really love that giraffe... I would definitely be interested in playing Mitford when the inevitable movie comes out."--Gwendolyn Christie, "Brienne of Tarth" from Game of Thrones
"It's at once a gentle satire of the fashion world and story intended to inspire kids to stay positive and follow their dreams."--Wall Street Journal
"Fashion-forward" --CoolHuntings.com
"While fashion-conscious readers will appreciate the punning, even those oblivious to the tongue-in-cheek ribbing of fashion-world characters and excesses will marvel at Robertson's richly animated storyboards with their bright hues and zany, literally animalistic garment ensembles. Sassy and inspiringly drawn: a funny, captivating treat for the eyes and imagination." --Kirkus Reviews
"Since his humble baby beginnings on Instagram, Mitford has gone on to grace J. Crew's kids tees and more recently, the walls at French boutique Colette during Paris Fashion Week, and now, he's getting his very own book: Mitford at the Fashion Zoo." --InStyle.com
