I loved the brilliant series on radio 4 by #KatherineRundell about how essential children's books are- 'children's books are not a luxury.' www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4... #kidlit #childrensbooks #readingforpleasure

I thought I would post some drawings by children from past school visits - because I just love the freshness of children's drawings and they fill me with joy!

'Lucky the Dog' is out today! It's the last collection in a series of ten stories I illustrated set on 'Farms for City Children' -special farms run by a charity set up by Michael Morpurgo and his wife Claire in 1976 offering groups of inner city children a magical week away on the farm. #kidlit

Delighted to hear that 'Dylan's Playtime Adventures' is one of three shortlisted for the prestigious Kidsceen Award Best New Series (Preschool) all down to the incredible work of 9Story Media Group and Brown Bag films #dylansplaytimeadventures

It's not 🎄Christmas🎄 again already is it! Get in the mood by singing along with this fun Jingle Bells stocking filler. I see it as a song in a panto performed by the cast of #GiraffesCantDance 🦒 #picturebook #kidlitart #Christmasbook #Christmas #picturebookart
