⭐️COVER REVEAL⭐️
I am so happy to be able to reveal the cover of my very first chapter book - Little Lim and the Golden Treasure. Little Lim will be splashing her way onto shelves in May 2025 with the very excellent team at @piccadilly.press . Working with my editor @ruthmarybennett has been a total dream and the fact that I’m working with the brilliant @genevieve.webster.3 again on the art work is the icing on the cake.
I can’t wait to share more soon.
Feeling emotional and so very happy to announce that @papercatbooks opens its doors today at 9.30am. So very thankful to everyone who helped make this happen and above all to @anjastobbart and @pezleyp for this incredible journey.
We’ve got some books. Come and buy some!
A Magical Journey for Little Dreamers.
Whisking you away into stories filled with whimsy and adventure, renowned illustrator @frann.pg ’s captivating drawings have been brought to life through a vivid range of fabrics, wallcoverings, rugs and accessories.
Frann’s illustrations transport us with Up, Up and Away, a world filled with magical creatures and fantasy lands; Once Upon a Time, where beloved fairy tales unfold; and Fairy Garden, where charming fairies tend to their tiny gardens.
