We’re back! What better way to welcome the spring. May I present Picking Pickle, a new picture book to be published by Pavilion Books in June – written by Polly Faber and illustrated by me.
We’ve been yelping excitedly in the wings for a long time on this one. When Polly’s story bounded up to my doorstep – tail wagging, cheeky wet nose, ears all over the place – I nearly knocked over my dog biscuits with delight. She is a masterful, glorious storyteller and always brings out the best in me. I can promise you there won’t be a dry eye, let alone nose, in the house!
And it passed the Shirley Hughes test, phew…
HUGE thanks to the Pickle Crew for this delicious, riotous, joyful book: Neil Dunnicliffe, Anna Lubecka Hattie Grylls and all at Pavilion. Now all we have to do is chew our tennis ball impatiently and wait for the final few weeks to pass…
