Happy #blackcatday; a day to awareness of black cats in need of homes and support. Superstition still makes these adorable furry friends more likely to be homeless and or abused. Which makes me so sad, especially as a cat mum to 2 adopted beautiful black cats of my own. #blackcat #blackcats #kidlit

Just sharing a bear who is very excited to see a giant sweet potato in his allotment.

This was from a magazine commission I got last year from @highlightsforchildren who are always fun to work with!

5 very smart ravens having a picnic with autumn scenery. Smartly dressed, they are sitting on pumpkins and eating worms, corn, and a pear. Other food is on the picnic blanket. One is making a list and another is cawing while sitting on a cornstalk. A scarecrow is in the background.

Illustration depicting an autumnal scene, showing a garden surrounded by other flats and houses. Growing in the middle of the garden is an apple tree which branches connect all neighbours who can be seen in all the little windows surrounding the tree. There is no fruit on the tree, only yellow leaves. Some of the characters that can be seen in the windows include a mum reading to her baby by a candle, a grandma and grandchild sharing a warm drink and a person calling their cat, which can be seen walking on the right wall of the garden. In the garden, a girl is carrying a giant orange pumpkin and an older woman on the left is passing some jam over to her neighbours above with the use of a basket and rope. A lively illustration showing the spirit of community and sharing.

It's the start of Halloweek! I though't I'd share the main character Cosmo from a book I've been working on. He's kind of based on my own special black cat called Lex who once lived on the streets but now loves his cuddle-time

🎃 October’s here, so I’m going to start banging the gong for my new picture book #MonsterMakeovers, illustrated by Rae Minos and published by Boxer Books.

🧌 It’s a revolting rhyme set in an “ugly salon” at #Halloween.
