Howdy folks! I’m so excited to share that the brilliant Nick Jonas will be reading a book I illustrated on TV tonight! Tune in to CBeebies at 6.50pm with your little ones for a very special reading of The Ballad of Cactus Joe! 🀠❀️

I love seeing BTS like this bc it comes from a piece of art where you're like "How did he do that??" to watching carefully over the process and going "Ooooooh, so that's how he did that" and unlocking some new knowledge for yourself that makes art seem less impossible
