I'll be finishing up @bbcni Book Week by talking to Diana Culbertson on BBC Radio Ulster this Sunday. And I'm really looking forward to hearing 6 year old Rose read from one of my new books! #bookweekNI #bbcradioulster https://www.instagram.com/p/CGsdN_-BhQi/?igshid=oe0dq4gocil2

@bbcni @librariesni #BookWeekNI - The book that makes things brighter for me is The Shrew with the Flu (and getting photos like these). One of the first to get his hands on The Shrew with the Flu! Harrison was there at my very first book launch and has been collecting my books ever since. I am beyond grateful for beautiful families like his who support and love books as much as I do. Thank you! His lovely mummy is running an incredible fundraising raffle in aid of Castle Tower School. The school has been selected to be in the final of @officialcoolfm @downtownradioni Cash for Kids - they are aiming to raise £10,000 to install a disability swing and adapt their outdoor facilities. Head over to @castletower_pfsa to enter. Raffle closes on Friday 30th October! cashforkidsgive.co.uk/campaign/schools-challenge-2020/fundraisers/castletower-school #theshrewwiththeflu https://www.instagram.com/p/CGnU3oNBfqG/?igshid=wigg6xa5jep7

#BookWeekNI - My favourite children's book is Pippin the Guinea Fowl written by Mark E McNeill. This one will always be special. Firstly because it's my brother's story! And secondly, it was the first book I worked on after leaving studio work and entering the world of freelance illustrating. It kept me focused and made me more determined than ever to make creating children's books my full time career. Plus, it's just a really great story about finding your place in the world (which was exactly what I was doing at that time). @librariesni @bbcni Available online on my Etsy shop (link in bio) or in store @midtownmakers #pippintheguineafowl https://www.instagram.com/p/CGktfoahxv4/?igshid=qymffnseu4dy

Today is the first day of #BookweekNI I'm joining in with @bbcni and @librariesni to celebrate the books and the joy of reading! First up - #BookWeekNI we have recently read and recommended Deborah and the Very Big Battle written by Tim Thornborough. My little nephew had a sneaky preview before the book is released next week by The Good Book Company UK. Why don't you join in and #take15 to read with your children or enjoy your favourite book with a hot cup of tea. If there ever was a night for curling up by the fire with a good book - tonight is the night! #deborahandtheverybigbattle https://www.instagram.com/p/CGiMMDchKaC/?igshid=zdfcnlblpnp6
