Sometimes you read a 📘 & you can feel how much effort & thought - how much caring - has gone into the pages. You feel the 📘’s message & its kindness right away…
Huge 👏👏👏 to @Karlwheel & @CAnganuzzi (& 🙏🏼 @bonnierbooks_uk !) on the pub. of ‘The world at your feet’ 🥰
Just about to close the laptop but wanted to drop in & wish everyone a very happy long weekend 🥰
I’ll be ‘Doing a Doug’ & balancing the celebrations with a bit of much-needed solo down-time!
See you next week!

Sadly for me, the image of the little red-haired girl was Sarah’s illustration for her partnership with brilliant @holliejhughes on ‘The Girl & the Dinosaur’... I was going to have to wait my turn!
And then, not so very long after, this was handed to me...
3 sleeps ‘till @WorldBookDayUK (my 1st one as a published author) so thought I’d share some little readers I know...
First up is Nut + his cookbook - a sneak-peak from ‘The Viking who liked Icing’ by me, brill debut #markmckinley & @KidsBloomsbury (Out this August!).
