I am a Scottish based picture book author and illustrator. I also enjoy creating and designing book covers and am open to enquiries for illustration work.
Below is a sample of book covers. I have pitched several #pb ideas today as part of #XpoNorth 🧡

#XpoNorth ‘What Wonder are You?’
When a little girl finds a blootiful bird, she takes it home to live with her. But blootiful bird is unhappy. Can the girl find a way to bring the joy back to her new friend? #pb #kidlit

[Anna Mac @anna_malyon]

#XpoNorth ‘A Countryside Alphabet’
A rhyming story with words and pictures, part inspired by ‘Each Peach Pear Plum’. Fun rhyme that can be recited with your little one when out and about. #pb #kidlit
