Nosy Crow Christmas Party...

I was honoured to be invited along to the Nosy Crow Christmas Party this week and had a really wonderful time - meeting some of my illustration/author idols was a real treat - I just hope my book will sit nicely amongst such amazing work!

Myself, Leigh Hodgkinson, Kate Wilson and Giselle Gimblett.

A wonderful mix of lovely people from my agent to authors to designers - I was in awe.
I am always the tallest and reddest I realise!

New interview in The Book Sniffer Blog...

I am very honoured today to have my work featured in that funny Pug-about-town's blog The Book Sniffer!

I really enjoyed being asked questions by a tiny Pug - he is incredibly cute and funny to boot!

'Seasonal Stretch' Advent Calendar now available...

...and the final Christmas product pestering is here - the Stretch Advent calendar!

Featuring Stretch in a cosy scarf and twiggy antlers, he is being helped by his robin pals who are festooning said antlers with baubles and trinkets.

There are no chocolates behind each of the 24 windows - instead there are 24 different images featuring Stretch in all manner of festive guises - here are two examples - such fun!
