You wait for one book...
Because you can never get too much of a good thing….!
Thank you Ceri and thank you to all my lovely friends and family for such great support.

London Calls! still doesn't appear to be in the Tate online bookshop - although you can find it in the actual Tate shops.
(Or here, of course)
Please leave a review if you can!

London Calls! |
My favourite page |
You wait for one book and then two arrive…
"From the creators of A Possum's Tail comes another rollicking rhyming adventure. Taking in all the major sights and sounds of the British capital, London Calls zooms past parks and palaces, monuments and museums at a pace that readers of all ages will find exhilarating.
In this thrilling tour, led by two of the city's best-dressed residents, a pearly grandma and her granddaughter, we make the acquaintance of the Gherkin, the Shard and the Eye, not to mention a whole host of other characters who make London the rich and diverse city that it is today. Expressing all of the energy, history and excitement that London has to offer, London Calls is both the perfect introduction to and memento of an unrivalled city."

London Calls is the second children's picture book collaboration between illustrator Alex Barrow and me and even comes with a wonderful range of accompanying merchandise designed by Alex.
Find your copy in the Tate shops (although it doesn't seem to be on their online shop yet), all good bookshops or on Amazon

BACKGROUND information...
My first picture book - called A Possum's Tail - is a collaboration with brilliant illustrator Alex Barrow and came out 6th February 2014. A second book called London Calls! is a whistle-stop tour of London, led by a Pearly grandma and her granddaughter. London Calls! came out on 4th September 2014 and is my second book with Alex Barrow. A Possum's Tail was nominated for the 2015 CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal.
Both books are by Tate Publishing.

As well as writing children's books, for children's television and two award-winning children's magazines, I do both private and commercial art commissions, a selection of which you can see here.
The children's shoes are part of an ongoing series of "first shoes", including several cards commissioned by the Almanac Gallery.
Hand-drawn, bespoke invitations, announcements, portraits and menus, such as the examples here are also available upon request..
