"The Biggest Smallest Thing" is out now and available wherever good books are sold. It was brilliantly written by Sara de Waal, illustrated by me (eee!) and wonderfully cared for and put together by the lovely team at Annick Press.

I'm doing my best to share the "boring" details of working on my first book with a publisher because the nitty-gritty is the always bit that I want to know about when it's someone else's book.

So I wrote about it on Substack: shorturl.at/kkErP

Enjoy, you nosy newts <3

A spread from Where Is Benji's Blue Bone; a picture book written by Dr. Aruna Shekar and illustrated by Aishwarya Tandon. The spread shows a top-view of a kid's bedroom with a big bed in the centre. The girl is bent down, looking under the bed for her dog, Benji's toy bone, who is helping along by looking under the pillows.

The many cover options for The Biggest Smallest Thing, published earlier this month with Annick Press. It's ok to judge this book by its cover because a hell of a lot of thought went into it.

A possum wearing a red cowboy hat and belt with a bedazzled "L" on the buckle leans back against a fence in the foreground. In the background, another possum wearing a blue cowboy hat is dragged along by his lasso as a roadrunner sprints away. They are surrounded by a desert landscape and plateaus.

A greyscale scene set in a public park. A smiling kid hides behind a tree while holding a leash, and another kid with an inquisitive look is stopped by a dog that pulls on their jacket sleeve. The dog has a backpack with an envelope peeking out and a bandana with a heart pattern.
