Hey #PortfolioDay, thought I'd do something a little different and show my Pocket Mountains artwork instead of the kidlit. The lovely team at PM produce a popular line of walking guides covering most of the UK (still in progress) and I illustrate a lot their covers! #walkingguides #ukwalks

Next week sees the start of Pride month and, more than ever, it feels important to share books that bring understanding, empathy, solace and empowerment for the LGBTQ+ community. What great kids’ books will you be reading and recommending during Pride month? #KidsBooksFriday #KidLitUK #KidLit
