Finishing the week with a laugh. Whilst perfecting our #frogsbog pose , we'd no idea that super-fan, Kaiden, was posing up a storm behind us! I only realised when I flicked through the photos later. Excellent photo bombing skills, Kaiden 🐸 (Scroll to see the official photo with Kaiden too) #kidlit

Ta-da! Here's Mariela Malova with her beautiful window design for Tolworth Library, celebrating the Hogsmill River and Tolworth Court Farm Fields, which inspired the Frog's Bog series. Waterways provide crucial habitat corridors for wildlife and I'm thrilled to work with Kingston Libraries.

We had so much fun at Tolworth Library on Saturday; frog sketching, frog crafting, frog ribbiting, frog leaping, you get the idea!
Thank you, Kingston Libraries, and the lovely staff at Tolworth Library.
More photos of the window to come tomorrow 🐸

Hello! Thank you so much. The series was a long time in the making. I have epilepsy and started to write about the role of neurons around it. My children and husband are also neurodivergent which lead to the other titles. I find it fascinating and I wrote the books with younger children in mind 😀

The youngest two are back to school, and I'm almost ready to roll up my sleeves and start some new writing. But first, a moment to pop all of the Frog's Bog series on my shelf and take it in. Three books now. How did that happen? #frogsbog #newwriting #kidsbooks #kidsbooksseries

My three girls with Paddington at York Minster as the sun goes down on the Summer holidays. I'm feeling refreshed, grateful for friends and family, and I've also got that bounce in my heels that means I'm ready for some new writing.
