Call Me Gorgeous was Milton's debut children's title. The book's artwork was nominated for the 2010 Kate Greenaway Medal.[citation needed] The book was selected for the 2009 Book Start programme.[citation needed]
The story of Call Me Gorgeous draws its inspiration from the culinary texts of the court of King Henry VIII; these record that chimerical monsters were stitched together from various animal parts and served to the king and his courtiers on feast days.
