Folks, this place was the soil in which my picture-booking author dreams grew. It was my meeting of so many friends. It got me through terrible times. And it celebrated my victories. I'll forever be grateful for those days.
I'm freezing this account. Find me on Insta...

When I saw this was by @Karlwheel I knew I'd love it & @timbudgen's dreamy illustrations just made that all the more inevitable! Sparkly stars on the cover & bookshelves on the bus with encouragement to read a bedtime story in the text just add to the enchantment @LittleTigerUK
Gareth is a bit too good!
In February, I took some words penned by @Karlwheel on the subject of sleeplessness & turned them into a song.

Our #BookOfTheDay is a pretty bedtime book complete with cute animals, soft rhyming text, reassuring visuals and a little song.

One of absolute favourites for age 2+ I Am A Tiger by @Karlwheel and #RossCollins
Thank you, @mooseandmouse, for gifting me this great new poetry collection (chosen by Julia Donaldson), and featuring loads of fantastic poems, including Colin's own poems (two in pics!). As ever, I'm in awe, and inspired no end! A great collection for budding poets and all!

Captain Christmas by @Karlwheel and Tom Knight is a fun story about the most festive ship on the sea. Children will delight with the rhyming story and bright beautiful illustrations. This one comes with a hearty stamp of approval from these scallywags!
