🍂 OUT TODAY IN THE UK! 🍂

This beautiful picture book is out now, and we are so excited to have Squirrel and Bird unleashed on the world. These playful characters show that no one can be defined by just one thing, and it's most important to just be you!

This was such a team effort, so a huge thank you to @p_m_emerson at the wonderful @littletigerbooks for all the collaboration to get the words and message just right. 🖊️

I feel so lucky to be paired with the incredible @staceythomasmakes for this book. Stacey's illustrations and wonderful characters inspired the story, and she has made every single page a work of art. Please go pore over her endpapers! ✨

SQUIRREL AND BIRD out now in the UK and US 😊

✨OUT NOW!✨

We are so excited to launch I Love You Millions into the world, published by @tigertales_books, edited by @p_m_emerson and with the most beautiful illustrations by @seanjulianillustration.

This book was inspired by my youngest son, who used to say ‘I love you one hundred million’ every night, and it celebrates the enormous and reassuring love between grown-up and child 🩷

What an experience! Very proud of Max for joining a varied panel of record-breakers to help celebrate the new Guinness World Records 2027 books. Not only was he the only kid there, but he was also the only one to appear in both books! Thank you so much to @guinnessworldrecords for inviting him 😊✨ by @laurabakerbooks
