Are you ready for the first #supermoon of 2025? It's officially tomorrow, but it will be just as big and bright tonight! Plus it occurs in the midst of #spaceweek too!

This fact page is taken from mine and Tincho Schmidt's picture book Supermoon.

Happy #NationalPoetryDay to all who celebrate!

Can you believe I now have 30 children's poems up on the Dirigible Balloon website (along with many other fab poets)?! Here they are in all their glory - have a browse if you have a moment.

Thanks to @northernjim.bsky.social for having me!

Happy #WorldVegetarianDay from the World's First Vegetarian Fox!

Outside the Box is a rhyming picture book that celebrates staying true to yourself and following your dreams (even if it is a bit scary). For Fennel that was opening a vegetarian cafe, but what will it be for you?

Fennel's just found out it was #nationalfoxday yesterday and he didn't do anything to celebrate!

It's always a bit cringe watching myself back on video, but here is an interview I did with my lovely publishers about my inspiration for writing Outside the Box, plus how I got into writing and my magazine @thetoypress.bsky.social!
