Last night I attended the launch of Brian Wildsmith’s first UK exhibition, in Barnsley, South Yorkshire where he studied art. The 3.5 drive was definitely worth it! I’ll post a few pics later. cooper-gallery.com/news/barnsley-…

This series is so much fun to work on with the superb Macmillan Children's Books. We’ve been discussing CHICK PEA, the third in the series. The first CAT NAP, pictured, is out now.

Oscar’s Book Prize is such a gorgeous thing and I am so delighted that “Geoffrey Gets The Jitters” has made the shortlist. (He’s a bit wobbly about it, mind.) Huge congratulations to the other nominees. Picture books are brilliant. ❤️

We are over the moon to announce that Gina Kaminski Saves the Wolf by Craig Barr-Green and Francis Martin (Francis Martin) has been shortlisted for the Oscar's Book Prize! 🎉Go Gina Go!

Huge congratulations to everyone nominated for this very special award.

24 years together! Had a 7 course meal at The Crazy Bear Group to celebrate. Crazy to think we’ve been together long enough to have had grandkids by now. 😱 The ‘00 photo was taken in my wannabe boyband days 😆 when we slept on a mattress in a friend’s council flat. Forever grateful.

Have just added another seven independent children's bookshops to my map. There are over 200 on there now so do have a look for your local one and support it when you can. Also, please let me know if there are any missing. Link can be found here: padlet.com/Jon_Biddle/rea…

Just wondering if anyone can recommend any indie bookshops (or children’s bookshops) in South Yorkshire?

This week Macmillan Children's Books published CAT NAP and showcased BIRD BATH, the second book in this series, at the Bologna Fair. Future titles include HIPPO POTTY and CHICK PEA. 😊
