Wondering what this #author #illustrator duo would LOVE for Christmas? #bookreviews please!
We've had amazing feedback, but when we ask, most people don't think to leave a review. We are not celebrities and depend on word of mouth. Give us something to toast and please review 😀 #kidsbooks

Christmas can be challenging for neurodiverse kids; sensory overload, routine changes, loud music & burn-out take a toll. These challenges are different for everyone, and I’ll be highlighting some soon.

The Neurons LOVE to travel fast! They have zipped into bookshops & libraries across the UK and now they're on their way to Australia; arriving March 2026! I can’t wait to find out where they are off to next! #epilepsy #adhd #autism #dyspraxia #dyslexia #tourettesyndrome #kidsbooks #neurodiversity

I can hold off no longer! My first Christmas-themed post of 2025 comes before I've scoffed a mince pie or slugged a mulled wine. I have been eyeing up some posh advent calendars, though.
Anyway, the point of the post: please do gift a book or two for Christmas! #frogsbbog #kidsbooks #kidsbookfriday

It's been seven months since the Neuron series was published! How did that happen? We have loved celebrating differences, and can't wait to see where those nosy neurons take us next. #neurodiversity #autism #adhd #epilepsy #dyslexia #dyspraxia #tourettesyndrome #kidsbooks #neuronsseries

Sharing some lovely reviews on the Neurons series for #nonfictionnovember
"Led to wonderful conversations about neurodiversity with my children"
"An fantastic book! As a Neurotypical individual it really has taught me a lot"
"I only wish something like this had been available when I was diagnosed."

I've had a couple of weeks away from the socials to reset and mull things. I've also had my head down with #newwriting. I'm at a crossroads and have a decision: carry on with Project A, pause Project A and start Project B, or try to juggle them both? Which route to take?

Finishing the week with a laugh. Whilst perfecting our #frogsbog pose , we'd no idea that super-fan, Kaiden, was posing up a storm behind us! I only realised when I flicked through the photos later. Excellent photo bombing skills, Kaiden 🐸 (Scroll to see the official photo with Kaiden too) #kidlit

Ta-da! Here's Mariela Malova with her beautiful window design for Tolworth Library, celebrating the Hogsmill River and Tolworth Court Farm Fields, which inspired the Frog's Bog series. Waterways provide crucial habitat corridors for wildlife and I'm thrilled to work with Kingston Libraries.

We had so much fun at Tolworth Library on Saturday; frog sketching, frog crafting, frog ribbiting, frog leaping, you get the idea!
Thank you, Kingston Libraries, and the lovely staff at Tolworth Library.
More photos of the window to come tomorrow 🐸
