Artwork depicting a moose, bear, penguin, and frog — all toys marching in a parade.

“A true friend will always be right behind you.” The center spread artwork from “Toys at Night”—my new collaboration with artist @anya-lauchlan.bsky.social - 200 books will be donated to children’s hospitals and schools in #Ukraine. For info. and copies: contact@goldfishbooksuk.com #books #booksky
