Great review from Kirkus for ‘The Fig Tree’ 🌳💜 🇨🇾Yay! 😊 Available to preorder now, releases June 17th 2025 #kidlit #childrensbook #picturebook #cyprus #figtree #author #figs #greenline #peace

As a Culture and Creativity category Finalist at the #studyukalumniawards it felt really special to be recognised on home ground – especially for someone like me who’s always falling between eligibility gaps and cracks. And yet, here we are – a foot in door! Yay! (now watch me kick it open!)

Over to author Ha Dinh @hellomrsdinh whose picture book THE JADE BRACELET manifests love through family and traditions #pb25vibes #picturebook #kidlit #jadebracelet #family #traditions

Kicking off the week this fine Monday morning, we’ll start our #pb25vibes posts with @alisonmcgauley and the vibe of her new book KENZIE’S LITTLE TREE! #kidlit #picturebook #treebook #author

Allow me to introduce you to this wonderful lot: PB25 Vibes! Ta-daaaaaahhhh! We’re a group of picture book authors who all have books out this year! For the rest of the month, I’ll be sharing writing vibes from members of the group. Share, follow, comment! #pb25vibes #picturebooks #authors #kidlit

Scribbly drawing of Silvermoon for @ostavmig ❤️#illustration #illustrator #catsofinstagram #catdrawing #silver #moon #authorillustrator #petportrait #greycat

Prob the last drawing of 2024… Whether you’ll be out partying tomorrow night or in bed by 9.30pm (9pm more likely for me!), hope it’s all good and that the new year will bring all lovely things. I’ll have a new book out in June - The Fig Tree - so lots of exciting things ahead! 😘#woodyonthesofaagain

Started this one yesterday morning but got sidetracked by food comas and meltdowns - so here it is, the last in the scribbly kids Xmas series… because doggos are kiddos too, right? #illustration #illustrator #kidlitart #doggo #doggodrawing #christmasdog #christmasaccessories #authorilllustrator

Going to attempt to squeeze in some quick scribbly Xmas drawings in the run up to the big day, so here’s the first (and hopefully not the last!) in the series! #advent #christmas ##kidlit #author #illustrator #childrensbooks #picturebooks #christmastree #christmaslights #christmas2024 #kidlitart

This boy was the best boy. It’s been 5 years - miss you every day x

My first FIGS interview - it was an emotional one. Huge thanks to Alix Norman for her genuine interest, enthusiasm and her ability to reduce me to tears! #author #kidlit #childrensbooks #picturebooks #figs #cyprus #dividedisland #peace
