Little peek at a watercolour illustration for our seventh #Adventuremice book - ‘Adventuremice: Mousehole to the Centre of the Earth’ - launching this October! ✍️

Bath Kids Lit Fest managed to get early copies of our new book, ‘Adventuremice: Mousehole to the Centre of the Earth’!

I’ve only had my one author copy and it’s SO NICE to see a bunch of them all together ☺️

Breakfast in the treehouse!
Artwork from my upcoming 7th Adventuremice book with @philipreeve.bsky.social & @dfbstoryhouse.bsky.social

The original ink & watercolour paintings from the book will go on sale on the evening of launch day, UK 9pm, Thurs 9 Oct…

If you're interested, mark your diary!

Painting of the Adventuremice - and a few other mystery characters - having a sunny breakfast along the branch of a tree. The book's title mentions the 'centre of the earth', so why is there sunlight, and a tree...?

Hey, @studioteabreak.bsky.social people!

I’m afraid I wasn’t able to keep the email that account was linked to. Which means I can’t get into my StudioTeaBreak account to explain why I’ve stopped posting. Huge apologies!

I still post on X, so if anyone’s on both platforms, feel free to cross-post🙏

Oh my god. I know I talk about it every 10 seconds, but Donut Squad. Those pages at the end made my hands itch for a pencil.

@sarahmcintyre.bsky.social has sooooooo many drawing resources on her website tied to all her and her and @philipreeve.bsky.social's books, it's immense fun.
