I've made a brand-new book! The first 200 people who buy it will get an exclusive signed and numbered copy! AND if you’re one of the first 100, you’ll get a lovely, limited-edition noticing notepad too! 📔✍️📚👏🎉💃 Pre-order your copy here: tinyurl.com/ycwdfphn
A photo of the book in hardcover against a wooden background. The cover is a very light peach colour and has illustrations by Adam Beer of: a café in orange, a seagull and a girl with a kite in blue, a green pigeon, pink cow parsley and plastic bags and a yellow origami boat and leaves. The title is The place I’m in ‘WHAT I SEE WHEN I STOP TO NOTICE’ in black letters. It has this quote at the bottom ‘This Book is lovely’ by Philip Pullman.

"We all once lived in the landscape. We worked and loved, slept and dreamed inside it. We observed change in the seasons, the incremental growth of plants and flowers, the sudden movement of wind and rain." Brilliant @Bonnie_LJ on our relationship with plants. April 2025 🌱

"If we want to survive in a liveable future, we need to consider, deeply, not only what kind of stories we tell, but how we tell them." Are Western narratives of individualistic heroism leading us astray? Absolutely love this piece from @ambermb. thebookseller.com/comment/be…

Beyond the hero's journey

If we are to escape toxic Western attitudes, we need new models of storytelling.
