Apples, fish and diverse bear families!

I have been so busy lately I've been forgetting to update you all on my PROJECT 365.

For this post I'll show you what I've been doing since 9th June 2013 - until today! I hope you like it!

EVERGREEN CREATIONS

It's been an absolute pleasure to work on this fantastic new project for Evergreen Creations.

Ciderella and the Little Glass Sipper is the second story in the Fairy Tale Trail series - and will be available later in 2013. You can read all about what is involved on the official website, and see the great work they are doing in partnership with a network of family farmers and early childhood educators. It's exciting stuff!

NEW PROJECT!

I'm very excited to be working on this new project, based in Cornwall, England. Although it's in the early stages of development, this one is sure to be a winner. I'll be sharing more as it progresses!

So that's it for now, as you can see I'm keeping myself busy and have lots to share with you!

Charlie's Parents Separate - on Kickstarter.

I was recently asked to provide illustrations for a new project by licensed Mental Health Practitioner and Certified School Councillor Robyn Friend.

This book, 'Charlie's Parent's Separate' is the first book in a series of children's therapeutic books.

You can find out more of these books on the official site PLAYING THROUGH THERAPY

Robyn is trying to raise some of the costs of making these books through a Kickstarter project - if you're not familiar with Kickstarter it helps people fund their projects through donations - and offer rewards in return. You can visit Robyn's Kickstarter right here, it's not only a great book but for a great cause too!
