Painting in progress of my young hero Jack doing all the ‘grotty’ jobs backstage at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. Soundtrack’s whatever mish mash I was listening to at the time…..

Completely delighted to see my new book sitting proudly on the stage of The Globe Theatre…and in its bookshop. This story was in many ways a love letter to this extraordinary building so I couldn’t be prouder. I hope you and your little ones enjoy!

This stopped me in my tracks Hank. I’m just so pleased for you. When news is good…it’s good. And I’m grateful for all the good news I can get these days.

I can entirely relate.

I’m painting a bear….which seems to be as good a place as any to start my adventure on BlueSky. Hello everyone. I’m a gal who paints books for your little people…and I cannot lie. Twitter scared the chops off me. Over and out.
