The Three R’s… Refrain, Rhyme and Relatability.

Now for a sad wrap up.

This will be my last blogpost for The Children’s Book Academy. With three books coming out next year and many more books to write I have decided to focus more on my own writing.

Thank you to Mira and the crew at The Children’s Book Academy for giving me the fabulous opportunity.
I have enjoyed every minute of it and I can’t wait to see who takes over from me 😊.

All the best in your writing and illustrating careers. I will be cheering you from the sidelines.
