the new neighbours: launch day!!


Hooray! It's LAUNCH DAY for my picture book, The New Neighbours! Big thanks to my editor Alice Corrie, designer Ness Wood, publisher David Fickling, my agents Jodie Hodges & Emily Talbot, and the whole Oxford-based team at David Fickling Books! I'm actually doing World Book Day school events (in Great Malvern) today, but here's a new step-by-step drawing tutorial to mark the special day... learn how to draw a bunny! And if you're reading closely, there are some more brand-new activities over on my website if you'd like to take a peek. The book should be on sale in all good bookshops; try to buy it from one of our lovely independent bookshops if you can! the_gossips_norman_rockwell_LJ.jpg If you're ordering online, Page 45 bookshop in Nottingham are wonderfully reliable and ship both the hardcover and paperback worldwide: visit their online shop here. wbd17_costume_emily2.jpg Want to find out more about The New Neighbours?
