So thrilled to share #LostonGibbonIsland, gorgeously illustrated by @RobBiddulph, is being published 13th April 2023! This survival eco-conscious story was inspired by my own adventures of being stranded on a Cambodian island. @HachetteKids @sallyanne_s
It was such a pleasure to be a part of the KS2 @jrlthull Children's Book Award this year! A huge well done and congratulations to everyone involved!
