On Saturday I hosted an illustration workshop, book reading and signing @kingsmeadbf. As well as had my books featured in @exclusivebooks shop. It was so inspiring to meet successful authors from all over the world, but even more so to meet kids passionate about stories, characters and the environment. Can’t wait to see what the next generation creates! And I also got to meet the gruffalo! Even if there is no such thing… #illustrationworkshop #illustration #bookreading #authorsigning #childrensbooks #books #booknerd #kbf24 #kingsmeadbookfair #inspiration #nextgeneration #illustrator #authorillustrator

What event lets Lucy and Liam unpack empathy? This page of the book summarises the whole plot - a birthday party! Birthday present shopping can be such a stressful experience, especially when you want to find the perfect present and you fear anything less will disappoint the birthday child. This page from the book has a really cool element, this birthday invite was filled out by a real life 7 year old who was just about to turn 8 - my daughter! [Image description: A digital painting of a birthday invite, it is an orange piece of paper and construction themed. It reads ‘To Liam and Lucy, it’s party time! Rays 8th Birthday on Saturday.

A couple recent commissions 👩🏼🎨 These will be the first of several posts since I can now start sharing some from the last batch as well as a few new ones I just finished! Thanks for keeping me busy, seriously! I love getting acquainted with all these new characters 🤠 . OCs of the day: Harper for @storyweavers_jargon and another of @authorannagrace ‘ ADORABLE couples, Henry and Amelie (I’m 90% sure I got those names right) . COMPLETELY unrelated to commissions, but I know it’s been a while since we got a TOoS oc post (not counting the TOoS-universe stuff in my recent dragon-rider series). I’m working on it! 😏 But quick writing update: I hit 30k, book three is now up to 31,052 words, and 10 chapters 🎉 You know, in my ultra-super-ambitious-optimistic heart, I wanted to be further along by the end of May, but realistically… I’d say that’s a pretty darn good place to be at 😂 taking the time to do that scene-by-scene outline has made drafting this volume so much smoother! Although I already added one scene that wasn’t on my initial outline LOL. And it’s a Killiclo one 🤭 . Any of my fellow writers, have you hit any cool milestones with your current WIP recently? Outlining goals, drafting goals, publishing goals perhaps…👀 I am giving y’all FULL permission to yap in the comments because writing a book is HARD WORK! And for all the self-berating we tend to do, I think that deserves a pat on the back every once in a while 😅🫶 .

My latest review is up on StoryLinks (see 🔗☝️). HOW TO MEASURE THE OCEAN is Inda Ahmad Zahri’s latest picture book. In it, she beautifully weaves maths concepts through the exploratory play of three children at the beach. Concepts such as quantity, volume, distance and trade are introduced in a child-friendly way. But Zahri never turns away from challenging the audience. Highly recommended👌 Congratulations, Inda and Allen & Unwin!

Last night I did a thing… I got myself all spiffed up- and went to a barn dance fundraiser for our local Montessori school- it was awesome, music was great, poutine bar- outstanding, my worlds colliding- friends meeting friends- I loved it! -but can I tell you the best part- this note, I had donated a collection of my books and stickers for the silent auction- this note: a personal review from my 5 year old neighbour- this kid ♥️ nothing makes my heart happier than when a small human likes my work. All the accolades from adults in the world can’t really compare to these words. #authorillustrator #childrensbooks #childrensillustrations #montessoriperth #ecotay #ecotayperth #openroadmusic #happyheart
My muse (part c) Cooking Fat would go in a crab pot and I knew just how to make that happen. On the appointed day, at the hour my boss Karl was due to arrive, I threw my net into the creek. Soon the line thrummed and up came several oily wriggling mullet. Cooking Fat waited and asked the occasional question as he watched. He noted with interest how I put the fish inside the wire and mesh crab pot. Cooking fat approached the pot with his whiskers forward and poured himself into its little opening and was soon crouched to gather his fish. Then, I snicked the latch shut. It made my stomach roil to look at cooking fat through the mesh of that crab pot with his face mildly perturbed. Fortunately, my boss was a punctual man or perhaps he had two eager children waiting at home, either way the Rolls Royce pulled up and the boot was popped open. Away went Cooking Fat. I never saw Cooking Fat again but I heard he was well settled in at the grand old house in Sandgate which made me very happy. Besides he did leave me a few gifts … fish heads mostly and a lasting affection for strays. That affection was my inspiration and is at the heart of Maya and Cat. Even though the story of Maya and Cat is far from this memory as I have written it, there are many fish bones on the path leading back to that place, and that time. The difficulty came once I had decided there was a kernel there. So I pitched an early idea to my agent Ronnie Herman who is a very pragmatic New Yorker, “You want to write a story about a *ooking cat? The cat is in a crab pot? How is that appropriate for children?” and so on and on. Anyway, the process of writing yielded the story of Maya and Cat, and I learned not to tell Ronnie any more stories in the raw. #Mayaandthelostcat #mayaandcat #mayaandmine #candlewick #walkerbooksaus #walkerbooksuk #editionsdeux #picturebooks #chrisbeetlesgallery #authorillustrator #carolinemagerlbooks #candlewickpress

I felt so full of gratefulness, empathy, comfort, and wonder after reading In Every Life, by Marla Frazee. Absolutely spectacular artwork and purposefully used lines from a poem.

We’re so excited to share FJORD – a beautiful children’s book by France-based author and illustrator Willy Wanggen! Originally published in French by @editionshongfei, RMB is publishing the English version of this captivating, unique book this Fall ✨🌬🏔🌿🌊 In a stunning fjord, Catmarin, a slender and graceful bird, gathers the other shorebirds (seagull, cormorant, guillemot) to share his discovery: they all live in a vast open book, older and more alive than those found in libraries, as ancient as their glacier and as fresh as a breath of air. This book is the world around them. Some see only mountains, waves, trees, and rocks. However, a keen eye will discern that the down of new snow is as soft and untouched as a blank page, that the prominent mountain sets the scene, that the raindrops serve as commas punctuating the day, and that the waves enclose the belugas like brackets... Stay tuned for more info and a pre-order announcement! 📚🥰

Drawing camp, lessons 59 and 60: final drawing of drawing heads made simple AND learning the basis of anatomy. That was fun, as always. It gets trickier with anatomy but also very inetresting since You need to learn and comprehend anatomy to draw human characters. And that is exactly what I want to learn and do 🤗 Female characters mainly, to be precise. I am slowing my learning / drawing pace lately (I have got a nasty cold that leaves me really tired) but I am not letting go nor giving up. Sometimes, You just need to slow things down to better keep going on. I intend to last for a long time…and to misbehave! 😁 To that end, I need to slow down from time to time. #drawingcamp #keshrt #learningtodraw #learning #drawing #keepgoingon #persevering #slowingdown #gotacold #working #creating #exploring #becomingme #authorillustrator

Every now and then, we go into our shell. It might be that things around us are a bit overwhelming. Or maybe we just need to focus on ourselves, our family, our business, our projects. To get stuff done. Our shell is our way of retreating when we need to. Without guilt, or judgement. We can retreat into our shell for an hour, a few hours, a day or more. What matters is that we know it’s our human protection. It will always be there. When needed.

A fun idea I’ve been playing around with for a while now: SHARK RACERS!!!
