Like so many creatives, my career is 'all at sea' right now, with so many plans now off limits for the forseeable. I'm sure there is a way forward but for now, I'm trying to rest and enjoy the wide open space of the ocean and the sun on my skin #kidlitart #scbwi #PBChat

@FatherReading @StevenLenton So many amazing illustrators already mentioned this evening, so I won’t repeat. Can I mention @SarahMassini. A truly amazing illustrator! #ukpbchat a1] @ukpbchat
