Created a treasure hunt for my kids. The answers spelt their favourite film. They had fun but maybe not as much fun as me 😜 #PortIsaac #Moana #amwriting

I can't stress how hard @JustinRColon worked on this mentorship/critique program, guys. I don't know where he found the time, patience and energy to do so, but a huge thanks to him, again, for putting this all together. It was a Herculean effort. #PBChat

#PBPitch A tuneless choir, a synchronised swimming team & a group of over enthusiastic young frogs all make grumpy Harold leave the pond. But is anywhere quiet for a nap? #PB

[James Pitcher @JPitcherWriter]

Lion likes nothing more than to relax alone on his small sunny island. So when a messy monkey, noisy elephant, and clumsy rhino arrive and disturb his peace, he goes bananas and orders them to leave. But will Lion’s island be as fun without them? #PBPitch

Myrtle the Turtle is banged by a boat and washes up on a distant island full of rubbish. Too injured to swim, how will she get home? Can she clean up the rubbish and use the items to help her return to her beautiful reef? #PitPitch

[James Pitcher @JPitcherWriter]

A mean pirate crab, Captain Claw, tells Turtle he sails like a sleepy snail and Starfish he's been squashed flat to a star shaped splat - he even tells a mermaid she can't sing! Will he change his ways when he's given a taste of his own medicine by a hungry shark? #PBPitch
