Who else goes to coffee shops to get ideas for characters and personalities? I also use every page of notebooks until they die so they start to look a little crusty ☺️

A few months ago I received a message from a gorgeous 7 year old girl who’d been inspired by my book “Elroy the /la Iguana” and wrote her own book about her own trip to Galápagos Islands. Why I write? To inspire kids to love nature, writing, and learning ❤️😘

I just love these crochet characters that I got made for my latest books! They help kids connect with the characters and also the wildlife!
One is a Giant Anteater for my book
a.co/d/amdjdzt & the other is a yellow crowned parrot for my latest book

This is a photo I took in 2009 on Campbell Island. A friend and I were just chilling on the side of the hill and this curious albatross came to visit us. She was one of the reasons why I decided to work in education instead of research.

My friend sent me this photo of her art since she knew I’d run out of pieces of artwork.🥹😅 Because for me, everything that requires creativity is art 🖼️😊

I didn’t have time to find the last pieces of art for this month so unless someone sends me a random piece of their art I’m going to use illustrations from my own books & recreate a story around it.
This illustration is by Elena Harman from “Raising Goliath the Anteater”

🦜 Carlos is a yellow- crowned parrot that arrived in Merazonia, a wildlife rehabilitation centre in Ecuador, in 2018. Due to reduced mobility, a new life at the centre was the best option for him and he has since become one of the most beloved residents. He also inspired by new story OUT NOW! 🥳🍾

I’m kind of breaking my own rules here but I took this photo this morning and I can’t stop thinking about. This is the first time I’ve seen a rainbow over the city like this ❤️🌈

So my friend @the_real_m_warner decided to challenge me with an xray for this #augustwritingchallenge and it reminded me of how often our most serious injuries are caused in the most boring way (not that I’m saying that about yours 😬)

Ok, so it’s not springtime but that’s what this gorgeous piece by @o_tzotzos reminds me of! 🌸 It also reminds me of when I was a kid and we used to put a blanket outside under a big tree and we’d lie down and read books 📚😊
