Ho ho ho! A new book for Sophie Masson

October 20, 2020

Congratulations to Sophie Masson on the publication of

Santagram

a picture book for 3-10 year olds, illustrated by Shiloh Gordon and published by Little Hare (Hardie Grant).

Santa loves getting letters, but the elves are FED UP with sorting through the huge piles of mail.
So they create a letter app instead--Santagram.
But how will Santa cope?
A hilarious Christmas story.

What a cracker of an idea! It’s bound to be in a lot of Christmas stockings this year.

Good Morning, Mummy

Counting with Grandma

three picture books for 3-8 year olds in China, illustrated by Anna Laera and David Arumi and published by D Mind (Hong Kong).

This suite of sweet stories about family, love, creativity and growing up will be launched at the Hong Kong Book Fair in December.

It’s good to hear about success stories in different markets, isn’t it?

New book for Pamela Rushby

October 20, 2020

Congratulations to Pamela Rushby on the publication of

The Mummy Smugglers of Crumblin Castle

a junior fiction book illustrated by Nelle May Pierce and published by Walker Books Australia.

A thrilling tale of an orphaned heroine, a mysterious ruined castle in the fens, mummy unwrapping parties, a family of house-keeping cats and a thousand-mile journey up the Nile in (illegal!) search of ancient Egyptian mummies.

Sounds like a rip-roaring adventure!
