Super excited to share the cover of 'Crocodile Christmas' written by J.D. Forester, published by @penguinkids out on 21st October,2025!!!

To be able to work on a book that had animal characters with the added Christmas spirit (cherry on top) was a dream come true!

A flower was bitten by a vampire and it became Flower Vampire. Now he doesn't eat manures or drink water, he eats cheese! How wonderfully strange! 😍

Though a lot needs to be done but it is so motivating to know that the story has promise & it could be a book one day!

Haha I am crying happy tears 🙈Thanks Nicola!
Oh yes, there's actually a really fun list! I never did it myself before, but this year I am doing two prompts and developing one prompt more than the cover ! 🤍

The imagined book cover starts this week & I totally loved interpreting this cover!

I loved the idea of a silly goose thinking himself as a king & showing off his crocodile, while the crocodile is of course not pleased! 😀

Day 7 of #folktaleweek : Blossom

Helen had a fall- this time a soft, cushy and a welcoming one! All her friends were down there, having a nice cozy home amongst the blossoms!
After a struggle and almost losing hope, they could all finally play together!

Day 6 of #folktaleweek : Bone
Down down down under!
The story is nearly ending and tomorrow we will find out what happens at the end! Will Helen be able to see her friends or was all this adventure a waste?
