Rabbit & Bear ‘Rabbit’s Bad Habits’ is also out now. Written by Julian Gough and illustrated by me.

'Rabbit's Bad Habits is a breath of fresh air in children's fiction, a laugh-out-loud story of rabbit and wolf and bear, of avalanches and snowmen. The sort of story that makes you want to send your children to bed early, so you can read it to them.' Neil Gaiman

Bear wakes up early from hibernation. If she can't sleep, then at least she can make a snowman. Rabbit has never made a snowman, but he definitely wants to make one that's better than Bear's. But with an avalanche and a hungry wolf heading his way, Rabbit soon realises that it might be nice to have a friend on your side. Especially when it comes to building snowmen ...

A tale of friendship, gravity, and just a little bit of poo.

It’s the first in a series of young readers books published by Hodder Children’s Books, each is set in a season this as you can guess is Winter. It’s 100 page illustrated book in black and white and a lovely blue pantone, it took a long time to illustrate and I’m just currently finishing final art work on the second.

Quick Quack Quentin by Kes Gray and pics by me, published by Hodder Children’s books. Out now!

Quentin was a duck with a very quick quack. 'QUCK!' said Quentin. 'What's wrong with me?'Quentin's quack has lost its A. Do any of the other animals have one to spare? Not likely! APES don't want to be PES. SNAKES don't want to be SNKES. PANDAS don't want to be PNDAS or even PANDS. Will Quentin be stuck with a very quick QUCK?!

Publishing tomorrow in the UK
