Is it petty of me to keep repeating that this beautiful movie by @Dreamworks is based on my book? The team of artists + animators + designers did an outstanding job + I want people to know that my book was the inspiration! Is that wrong? This is all new for me! #thewildrobot

I wrote OUR FAMILY FARM for Oxford University Press @OUPPrimary about 9 year old Ama and her family's greenhouse farm in Ghana. Part of the Readerful Series, borrow it from your local library. Ask the library to get it if they don't have a copy. #Readerful #RaiseAReader

The imagery here really strikes home!
A huge honour to be asked by @rapclassroom & @ksandsoconnor to do a cover for their book Beyond the Secret Garden. Pub'd by @EngMediaCentre & based on their well loved @BooksForKeeps column. An attempt to depict what my own experience of trying to get into the industry felt like
