AMY'S DIARY (and new artwork) for ECO KIDS PLANET magazine issue 37

I'm so proud to work for two fantastic children's magazines/fanzines; ECO KIDS PLANET & OKIDO. Both of these publications are committed to engaging kids to interact more with their surroundings, learn, discover and question - through reading, making, cooking and playing.

#EcoKidsplanetmagazine highlights - at this crucial moment in history - the responsibility we all share to care for this beautiful and amazing planet, and through #Okidomagazine, kids can explore the science of how things work in an imaginative and creative way.

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.

Please see my AMAZON AUTHOR PAGE or CURRICULUM VITAE for more details & updates.

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..
