Always a joy to celebrate a new book by @pennychrimes.bsky.social - and what a lovely launch for Hero, The Highway Girl! New from @fireflypress.bsky.social - Hero is a fast-paced adventure in the wildnerness of C18th London. It has wolves, secret caves, gargoyles, chandeliers and great outfits.

119. The Seamaiden's Odyssey by @berliedoherty.bsky.social, illustrated by @hobslantern.bsky.social An enchanting tale of the deep sea with utterly gorgeous illustrations!

Tamsin Rosewell is an British artist, historian and broadcaster with a background in politics. As an an illustrator she uses various techniques to tell stories in her work, such as mathematics and geometry for composition, and color and silhouette figures to convey emotions and stories.

We need an award like this back! it's perfect. I often think when looking at Greenaway winners that the text AND the art should get a prize because they're so integrated...this prize or similar would be perfect. Anyone wanna set one up? #KidLitUK en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Ma...

I loved this too. And the Joan Aiken comparison is well made.

I LOVED this wild and wonderful adventure by @pennychrimes.bsky.social. It reminded me of the joy and excitement of Joan Aiken's writing: wolves and hidden caves, secrets in old houses, inheritances to be found and claimed - and some splendid villains. Out in September from @fireflypress.bsky.social

Thankyou so much @hobslantern.bsky.social! Joan Aiken is my writing heroine, so that means so much. Love the red silk - just like Hero's dress! @fireflypress.bsky.social #kidslit

This was was glorious. A heart-filled pistol-flash of an adventure, filled with daring deeds, odious villains, and amazing hats. A wronged girl with her vengeful wolf meets an outlaw boy with a stallion only he can ride? Yes please! Thank you @fireflypress.bsky.social and @pennychrimes.bsky.social

Just made the move over from X! 🎉🎊 We are an independent museum based in Eyam, Derbyshire, telling the story of how we got the plague from London in 1665-6, and our local history. Interested? Head to our website at www.eyam-museum.org.uk to find out more.

Here’s a quick flick-through of my illustrations for Becoming Grace by the wonderful #hilarymckay. Hilary brings to life the world Grace Darling knew before her fame - the hardships and excitement of growing up in a lighthouse, with her large family and a dog called Happy. Out April 10th!

Happy book birthday to @afharrold.com for The Pocket Book of Pocket Poems. Out today! We love dipping into it in school and choosing a random poem. Some of the children have been learning them and performing them back to the class.

Thank you so much for the lovely photo @thomastaylor.bsky.social - it was a lovely audience, and the first public group to see the actual paintings too!

A great evening at the Cartoon Museum yesterday, hearing Berlie Doherty and @hobslantern.bsky.social talk about their collaboration on ‘Seamaiden’s Odyssey’. It was wonderful to hear Berlie’s thoughts on the changes she’s seen in publishing. Makes me want to travel back and be a writer in the 80s!

A designer asked me recently if I could get a good range of colours working in botanical and mineral pigments, so I made them this.. Botanical ink, mineral inks, clay, chalk, ground brick, and gold leaf.

We're both really looking forward to this!
