Happy New Year

It was an incredibly exciting start to the new year to find this little treasure hidden in my letterbox... FAN MAIL !! 
Sent by a grandmother and stuffed full of pictures her grandchildren had drawn - I just had to share! She told me how her grandchildren notice different aspects each time it is read, how it has helped them talk about real issues the family has faced,  and how the children have picked up on and use words from the book eg. "Grandma, I'm your snuggle bundle." Three things set to make any author's heart sing. Thanks for the encouragement, Barbara.

Great family picture, thanks Aaleyah!

I love the way you have drawn Nana, Aaleyah. She looks bright and happy.

Gorgeous picture, and I especially love the "swirly wirly" of the sea, Ava - great words to make me feel like I'm there!
