Parcel of pictures

A surprise came through the post from a group of yr1 children I gave a workshop to. They had put their characters into stories and compiled them into wonderful books, just for me!

Bob and Rob – shortlisted

This is the first time I’ve been nominated for an award and it’s for my first picture book – voted for by the young readers. I’ve never been to Cambridge either (that’s where the prize giving will be in June). Lots of firsts for me here – so excited!

Observer review

My publicist emailed me this clipping from the July Observer. Not only was it a great review, but ‘Bob & Rob’ was compared to one of the most celebrated burglar books ever; Allan Ahlberg’s ‘Burglar Bill’. Career pinnacle…check!

Book share

How fantastic to see children enjoying my story! Here are Coco and Noah getting stuck into ‘Bob & Rob’.

Back to school

A trip down memory lane for the official launch of my debut children’s picture book ‘Bob and Rob’

Winning work of art

In response to a brief presented by Cosmetics Business Awards organisers, I created the unique winner’s awards for this year’s charity event at the London Film Museum. Proceeds went to the Katie Piper Foundation. Working alongside Andy Hopper – Artist Blacksmith – we delivered a contemporary design with mirror polished shooting stars on intertwined stems.

Ta-daaaa, I’m published!

I’m proud to announce that my first children’s book ‘Bob and Rob’, a comic caper about a robber and his dog, is in print. Who’d have thought that an initial fanciful idea would become reality? I kept my original copy of ‘Writers’ and Artists’ Yearbook 2003′ on the shelf, which served as a constant reminder to never to give up my dream of writing and illustrating children’s stories – any excuse to stay a big kid!
