'Taking the Long Way Home' was partly inspired by reading and the journeys of imagination that start when we open a book and partly by taking my nieces home from school!. Massive thanks to @brianfitzer and @Scallywagpress for making this such an amazing book!

Happy publication day to the bee-rilliantly 🐝talented @GeorgeKirkTales and her equally bee-rilliant picture book #BessiesBees! Hearty congratulations 🐝📚.
We're excited to welcome @GeorgeKirkTales to the blog to talk about her un-bee-lievably brilliantly debut picture book 'Bessie' Bees'. 'I wasn't satisfied with just reading stories, I wanted to tell my own too. And the library let me, encouraged me. '
