When it comes to making dummy books, do you make a cover or do you keep it plain? Would love some advice! Thank you!

Hi friends! It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here but I wanted to pop up for #kidlitartpostcard day. Here in the southern hemisphere we can sense summer is on its way and I am certainly looking forward to some warmer days.

I recently had the pleasure of being interviewed about my work on The Book Tree Podcast. Something like this is way out of my comfort zone but Corinne was a fabulous host and instantly put me at ease. Find it on Spotify or Apple Podcasts

Happiness is… when your friend messages you to say they’ve purchased your book to give as a birthday gift.

How do you manage a work/life balance? So weird how I spent a lot of the weekend working but still feel guilty taking a weekday to do personal stuff. I’ve been helping my 16yo pack for a 10 day trek in the South African wilderness. So jealous!!! #worklifebalance #creativelife #kidlit #southafrica

Earth Takes a Break is a #picturebook I wrote and illustrated. It's a modern fable told from Earth's perspective.

Wonderful to see so many folks joining this platform. It truly feels like a haven and I hope it stays that way. Here’s a new #illustration from a picture book I’ve just finished. I figured it had the Friday Feels! #kidlit #kidlitart #ukkidlit

Here’s a little Monday thought inspired by my upbringing in Norfolk where you can still see road signs featuring traditional Norfolk dialect: Slow You Down, rather than Slow Down! Just like this Dodman (aka Snail!)

Today I am determined to have a good day, so I’ve written just that on my to-do list! Yesterday was a such a rubbish one so hopefully it can only improve!! I find it so hard to get out of a slump when I’m working alone. What are your strategies?

Just received my illustrator copies for some recent chapter book work for Penguin Random House South Africa and LAPA Uitgewers. It was a fun project to work on and the book came out so nicely.✨
