Can anyone guess the viral video my youngest just drew? This is definitely going on the fridge.

When I wrote Sammy Striker I wanted to ask a Lioness for a quote for it. I had the perfect person in mind… So I wrote to them. And hoped. Now this person is SUPER busy & successful. But she did it. The classiest, kindest, best blooming footballer Beth Mead MBE did it! 1/3

Spotted at Aberdeen Airport, so obviously we had to buy a copy! ClareHelenWelsh Anne-Kathrin Behl Nosy Crow

THREE DAYS TO GO!

The Dodo Who Dreamed She Could Fly is out TODAY! Bit of a heartbreaker, as this is the first book I dedicated to my Mam - I never dreamed she wouldn’t be here to see it published. She would have told EVERYONE ❤️ Go fly little dodo! Gorgeous pics by Claire Powell

Congratulations! So excited to read this!

A new picture book idea! It’s been a while!

That’s it. After almost four months off, I’m getting back into this writing thing. So…can someone please hold me accountable?! 🫠🫠🫠

Oh, wow! What a lovely surprise! Thank you Searchlight Writing for Children Awards, and congratulations to everyone on the longlist!

Looking for inspiration for some Scottish themed children’s stories I’ve been hoping to write - perfect way to spend Burns Night!

Managed to write four spreads of a new picture book. My first in a lonnnggg time. It’s about the stars, and wishes coming true…

Delighted to have 3 PB texts on this year’s longlist - thank you WriteMentor! Celebrating with a big cup of tea and a biscuit! ☺️

Drinking my morning coffee whilst app hopping, and open the kindest email from Tom Lancaster. I’ve been neglecting writing for months (and months) but today will be the day I get back on the horse. Thank you, Tom!
