We did a thing!!!! So excited to have had this opportunity to illustrate such a special children’s book. Feels surreal to actually hold the finished outcome. Huge thanks to @mellicTKI for trusting me with the artwork. It’s been such a pleasure 😄
So incredibly pleased to announce the launch of our new children's book 'Sometimes I Find It Hard To Move My Body'. The book brings to life the voices of several children with DCD. An honour to work with @Spillarah, @IncDcd and @uwapublishing
