Things have started to get colourful:
Lynne has written a lovely rhyming story, hopefully I can do it justice and help bring her characters to life. The finished book will be distributed to 3 year olds across Scotland as part of Scottish Book Trust's Bookbug scheme in March 2015.

Thank you Lynne! That means so much, your characters have been so much fun to illustrate. I do work with coloured pencil but also paint, pen and printed textures and I mish mash them all together. It is great to see the whole book coming together! x
