A 2nd half to make it a whole...

The new Just Giving page for the 2nd half marathon...

So on the 19th April 2015, I'll be running what I like to think of as the second half of the half marathon I ran last year, making it a WHOLE marathon! But I can't run again without remembering Silas and trying to raise a bit more cash for The Brain Tumour Charity. I totally understand there is such a thing as 'charity fatigue' but hey, I'd rather a few people got fed up with me if it meant a few others donated to a fantastic cause.

No amount too small (or large). Check out the fancy new Just Giving button on the right of this page that will miraculously take you to exactly the right place...

So go on, just take a look. See if it works...

Thanks xx

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.

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..
