Cambridge Christmas 2012

I know it's a long, long way off, but it's just been confirmed that I will be exhibiting at this year's Cambridge Christmas on Monday 26th November from 4-8pm.  To see more details about the event and who else will be there please click here.

John Lewis

I was wandering round John Lewis in Cambridge yesterday when I had a nice surprise.... As you may just be able to make out from this hastily taken and rather blurry phone picture, they are stocking my board books!

Product placement!

Wordfest Animal Pictures

Here is a small selection of the animals that were decorated at my Wordfest event. Although I always get nervous before events, I really enjoyed this one and was very impressed by how enthusiastic all the children were. They all did a great job drawing dogs and decorating their animals! Big thanks to Sue, Ruth, Anne and Louise from Cambridgeshire Libraries for running the day and making me feel so welcome, and to Isla and Helen from Egmont.

Wordfest Preparations

I am currently preparing for my Wordfest event on Saturday - it's at East Barnwell Centre at 11am for ages 3-6. This is a picture to show the actual height of a new born giraffe.....around 6ft tall! I've also cut out 68 crocodile teeth and have a piece of string that is 6m long to show how tall an adult giraffe can grow. It's wrapped around its own cardboard giraffe as you can see below. Let's hope it goes well....

Just arrived!

I have just received my advance copies of my first two board books: Animal Numbers and Animal Colours which are published by Egmont and out this Monday, 2nd April!
