Here is a nice mushroom

One of my favourite projects from this year - a personal take on a book cover for the Little Prince ✨ #kidlit

Book cover. A little, blonde, curly haired boy in the bottom left, looking up at a magical flurry coming out of a volcano. He is accompanied by a fox and rose. The back cover has a line drawing of the prince being flown by strings attached to a flock of birds and a snake trailing behind him. The nain colours used are blues and yellows.

I always seem to struggle with building a community on a new platform, but this really clearly outlines useful ways of doing so. Bluesky also really feels like a nice, safe space to do so ✨️ Thankyou @debbieohi.com !

Never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids. Never stop reading to them, and helping them to read. Never stop changing lives. #literacy #kidlit #books

So, I'll start with one of my favourite projects from this year: the new Irvin Vella novel! I'm honestly so so happy with how it all turned out - love me a witchy story to illustrate. More info on the project here: www.frannie-gee.com/books/irvin-... Published by Merlin Publishers

Aaand she's back 1 year later. I'm honestly so exhausted with all these social media platforms, but I'll take some time to update myself on here 😌 ✨️ There have been lots of updates this past year: amidst the exhaustion and chaos, I've gotten 2 books published and also signed up with an agent.
