LIFE ON THE THAMES by Emma Shoard
CHILD OF ST KILDA by Beth Waters
AROUND THE WORLD ON 80 HORSES by Jill Newton
Filled with fascinating facts sure to further readers’ interest, and encourage them to find out more and get involved.
From source to sea, habitats wild and regenerating; from island life at the mercy of the elements that thrived for thousands of years to suddenly ceasing; from creatures that helped shape civilisation to creatures of legend.
Maps, artefacts, sketches, patterns, traditions, developments... all play a part in the histories, legends and mysteries.
Perfect gifts for budding environmentalists, archaeologists, scientists, artists, historians, and everyone!
Great to celebrate National Non-Fiction November ‘Past Puzzles and Timeless Treasures’.

I made a new book!
Absolutely loved working on this story of a little snail, who knew that I life of beige and brown was not for him. Gavin the Glamour Snail is such a sweet and inspiring story by Louise McGettrick who shows readers that they can celebrate their differences.
I loved drawing Gavin and his friends, I hope you like meeting him!

Gavin the Glamour Snail is out now, available from all good bookshops.

Alternative Thames book cover created at @withymead last weekend. Loved visiting this beautiful nature reserve on the river and getting to make some beautiful art with kids.

In three weeks time I’ll be at Withymead nature reserve for day, putting on craft workshops inspired by my book ‘Life on the Thames’.
