Why I thought diving straight out of Bologna into Easter holidays would be a good idea I’ll never know. But finally starting to recover and reflect on what a brilliant week it was. Far too many wonderful people, memories and photos to document here, but I’m so grateful for all of them.

What a great day I had doing my first ever in person school visit! I talked to years 4, 5 and 6 about why being an illustrator is such a cool job and offered some tips on how we can get our characters to show different emotions. When can I do another one??

How To Roller Skate with One Leg, a wonderful, important book I encourage all kids to read. Maya's story is empowering and fun - plus, there's GUINEA PIGS.
Ella is so lovely, I’m honoured to be a part of this book. Massive congrats to all the team for a lovely book and brilliant party!

New work on my website! www.jenniferjamieson.com
Here's another illustration of my fave two, Jet and Hilary. I'm having fun with some more one-point perspective work. And I'm really looking forward to creating a few more illustrations and adding some more characters once I've developed them. I wonder who the villain should be...?

This is such welcome news. Spending months of maternity leave visiting the hospital while you're unable to take your baby home, worrying about your baby's health, really is not the dream. Thanks www.bliss.org.uk for always supporting the families of preemie babies x

Unpaid carers are under-represented in writing, publishing & the Arts more generally; I'm in a good position to begin to collect data (more on which soon). I also believe that unpaid carers should be protected in law - @carers-uk.bsky.social on The Equality Act here. www.carersuk.org/reports/maki...

What a great idea! I'm definitely in need of some motivation and accountability
I'm quite lax at self-promotion. I want to improve, without relying exclusively on social media campaigns. So, I'm going to start a monthly #self-promotion thread to a) get inspiration from the community and b) encourage accountability.
So #kidlit folks – how did you promote yourself this month?

Do not engage with trolls. BLOCK them. Certain people thrive on the controversy, the attention. Do not give it to them.

I've been spending a bit of time playing around with a character I just can't seem to get out of my head. I'm hoping to spend the next month or so developing a bit more of a concept for Jet and HIlary the Hover Cat. Where do you reckon they live?

Thanks to all my illo friends that have listened when I moan, offered advice and been there for me. Also thanks to the brilliant publishers that trust me to bring stories to life. It’s an honour I hope will continue for many years.
