This illustration sadly didn't make it into Bright Birds - its the largest and the smallest cuckoos in the world - both unsurprisingly found in the place with the wildest wildlife - Australia (how I'd love to visit one day!)

The largest is the Channel Billed Cuckoo and has a 1 metre wingspan. The smallest is the Little Bronze Cuckoo which weighs only 15 grams.

Check out my advance copy of The Heart of the Storm!! It’s got sparkly shiny leaves on it!!! 😍 Swoon!!

I am beyond excited to see this book out in the world because it’s an important story about finding common ground and taking care of each other, and it was a joy to illustrate all the splashy painterly, stormy textures!

It’s written by the super talented @teresaheapy and published on World Book Day - 5th March - by @otterbarrybooks - pre orders are most welcome from all the usual places…

Maybe that illustration of the little girl at the window was a premonition of my little shop window? The view isn't the same but the window is..

This photo is from my first Christmas and I'm proud to say that I'm still here, a year later making picture books in my studio space upstairs.

This illustration never became a picture book but I feel like the story is there waiting to be found.

I made it while I was studying for my MA at @arucambridge @csacbi and it's still one of my favourites. One day I'll come up with a story for this little person.

I had a great morning @theforumnorwich - a special Norwich Book Festival catch up with @matttheillustrator @amy.c.robertson & @benmanleygram for a cuppa then bumping into @rosefeather_ who has a fab new project on the go called the Telling Stories Press. Also made a print with the @norwichprintingmuseum and had an inspiring chat with the @anywherebookclub and of course loads of excellent books for sale by @norfolkchildrensbooks who had @bobtregoning signing copies of his books after his event for the @norwichbookfest #childrensbookillustration #norwich #norfolk #norwichbookfestival

What a fab evening celebrating a triple book launch with my friends @kathrynsimmondswriter and @fionafoggdraws at Waterstones in Norwich. It was so nice to mark the occasion with lots of friends and family and to see all our books out on the shelves Huge thanks to all the team @norwichstones for organising everything so well. And of course to the publishers, editors, designers and agents who help bring these books into the world. @walkerpicturebooks @tormalore @macmillankidsuk @twohootsbooks @jcehare @one.fox.shop

And here are some of the results of a fantastic afternoon at @norwichsciencefestival We read the Big Bad Bug @twohootsbooks, and we looked at Butterfly Skies @nosycrow together and then made some beautiful butterflies and snails to hang up at our windows. All the children worked so hard and made such lovely creatures! 🦋🐌
