Bens Birthday Book

 

 

 

 

 

Hello to you all, and I hope your weather has been as nice as it is here, if a little windy.

A little while ago I was asked by an old school friend to create a birthday book for her nephew Ben. She wanted the book to be about him and his family, a keep sake. 

She wrote the story with her family and I illustrated the pages along side, bound the book and sent it off. 

The last image is Ben reading his book, its great to see something coming to life and the audience it is intended for enjoying it. 

Dolly's Diary

Hello everyone!

Here is the book I have been working on Dolly's Diary. The story is of a brand new camper van who travels around Eastbourne with her new family. On Friday 20th July we had a book signing in Eastbourne by the beach. Cakes, book readings, signings and a bit of bubbly took place in the afternoon. We were lucky enough that the weather was brilliant and the dotto train came past to say hello every hour. On Saturday 21st Clare (the author) and myself had a book signing at Eastbourne Waterstone's. I felt very proud when a family came along with there baby daughter and bought Dolly's Diary and reveled that it was her first ever book!

Info about what the book is about and how the idea came about here

We had our first review recently here.

You can buy Dolly's Diary here and while your there why not play a game of pairs! 

I have just heard that Dolly's Diary has been made the no.1 children's book for Eastbourne Waterstone's!

Under the sea

I little peek into my new children's book about a little boy that has been told by his dad he can be anything he wants to be, (he doesn't want to be a mermaid though). New images coming soon, my shop will be up and running soon too so keep a look out for new fun things.
