Folks, this place was the soil in which my picture-booking author dreams grew. It was my meeting of so many friends. It got me through terrible times. And it celebrated my victories. I'll forever be grateful for those days.

I'm freezing this account. Find me on Insta...

@LibWithAttitude @timbudgen @LittleTigerUK Thanks so much!

[Bev Humphrey @LibWithAttitude]

When I saw this was by @Karlwheel I knew I'd love it & @timbudgen's dreamy illustrations just made that all the more inevitable! Sparkly stars on the cover & bookshelves on the bus with encouragement to read a bedtime story in the text just add to the enchantment @LittleTigerUK

@mooseandmouse @tombabylon @KidsBloomsbury @UA_Books Thanks Colin. I'm hardly on here these days... Instagram is where I'm posting now. Sad to see X fall so low :(

Hope all's well and wishing you and Cathy a great 2025 🤗

CAPTAIN CHRISTMAS is out now! 🏴‍☠️🎄

Welcome aboard the Yo-Ho-Ho! The most festive ship on the sea . . .

With gloriously detailed illustrations by my shipmate @tombabylon and words by me, this is the story of Santa you've never heard before!

Gareth is a bit too good!

In February, I took some words penned by @Karlwheel on the subject of sleeplessness & turned them into a song.

Thank you, @mooseandmouse, for gifting me this great new poetry collection (chosen by Julia Donaldson), and featuring loads of fantastic poems, including Colin's own poems (two in pics!). As ever, I'm in awe, and inspired no end! A great collection for budding poets and all!
