(Fortunately light does not hurt Jampires, just lack of jam. They \u003Ci>adore\u003C/i> jam. Basically, this book is both a ravishment of jam and a hymn to jam. ...\u003Cb>JAM\u003C/b>.) \\r\n\\r\nWe're both writers and illustrators and both wrote and illustrated it, so it's very much a collaborative adventure. More about that later!\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/sarahdave-d8edf32b20.gif\">\\r\n\\r\nIf you're a foreign publisher and looking for a cracking good picture book story, head over to the Random House Children's Book stand and take a peek! This story's good for Christmas, Hallowe'en and any season when people eat jam.
