⭐️COVER REVEAL⭐️

I am so happy to be able to reveal the cover of my very first chapter book - Little Lim and the Golden Treasure. Little Lim will be splashing her way onto shelves in May 2025 with the very excellent team at @piccadilly.press. Working with my editor @ruthmarybennett has been a total dream and the fact that I’m working with the brilliant @genevieve.webster.3 again on the art work is the icing on the cake.

I can’t wait to share more soon. by @frann.pg

A framed piece of work from an exhibition of mine in 2021 that’s been hanging in my son’s room. It’s a collage of acrylic paint and paper framed in a beautiful cherry wood. by @frann.pg
