Looking for a new (adorable!) autumn picture book?
I give you - The Last Leaf!
✏️🎨 @alipyeillo
📚 @puffinbooksuk

This book is too cute. Pre-ordered ages ago because I could not resist the cover!
The gold foiling is beautiful!

Parker (our cute puppy!) is enjoying the first signs of autumn…. But hold on? Nearly every tree is losing its leaves! What happens when the last leaf falls?

Well, a trio of autumnal animals knows exactly what happens. The WHOLE sky falls down! Or does it? With the help of a bear, Parker is shown that there is nothing to fear. Bear explains that new leaves will begin to grow in spring.

Facing fears, friendships and autumnal vibes - this is a super addition to any bookshelf!

I got some postcards printed for an event next week. Some of them have come out a bit dark but generally they’re pretty good. I’ll put them in my shop in the next few days so One For You (if you’d like), One For Me! (One of my favourite songs, always makes me smile). by @alipyeillo

'Girls are amazing.
So shout it out loud -
"I'm a GIRL! I'm FANTASTIC!
I'm strong, brave and proud!'

For #internationalwomensday here are the female firefighters of the Cincinnati Fire Department reading 'Girls Can Do Anything' by @carylhart and me. Link in bio!

'And the girl I love best
in the whole world is YOU.
Dream BIG, special girl.
Tell me, what will YOU do?'

Hello Mama Mouse!

Here’s Tiny and Papa Mouse.

It’s nearly time for bed.

Shall we peep inside?

Inside Mouse’s House. Can you spot Snail?

Here’s Granny Mouse playing a lullaby. (Artwork only, she’s having a cuppa in the book).

‘Excuse me!’ said Parker. ‘Do you know what happens when the last leaf falls?’

‘EVERYONE knows that!’ twittered bird.

Here is my favourite image from The Last Leaf, together with the first sketch I made of this scene. Like many ideas, it came on the move (I was on a train).

I love the idea of an island on a dark lake, in the middle of a silent forest. by @alipyeillo

‘….then on the shore
Of the wide world I stand alone, and think
Till love and fame to nothingness do sink.’

Here is Parker, the star of The Last Leaf, in his first incarnation. I posted this image and caption in June 2021. @larahancock7929 (then at Puffin) saw him and that was the start of Parker’s journey. Thank you Lara.

The caption is from ‘When I Have Fears That I May Cease To Be’, written by John Keats in 1818. by @alipyeillo
