I celebrated World Book Day with pupils from primaries 1 to 4 of #StockbridgePrimarySchool in #Edinburgh. After reading from The Fairy in the Kettle, I gave my creative writing lesson on creating engaging characters. The children then created their own unique characters.

These little gems are consistently voted favourite illustrations at children's events. There's often a tie when it comes to the third book in my multi-award-winning picture book trilogy. But I have to agree with my little readers! 🥰😍
