Picture Books

My first full length picture book, The Tiny Explorers, was released in 2021. It’s a story about a group of miniature people who live in the garden - hunting for treasures with their helpful beetle friends. They follow a silvery snail trail under the daisies and dandelion clocks, gathering forgotten odds and ends along the way. What will the Tiny Explorers do with their magical finds? In 2023, 18 months after the release of The Tiny Explorers, I’m thrilled to add a second book to the series – The Tiny Tailors. Read along as they make costumes for the upcoming Spring Parade. Berries, daisies and feathers are transformed into fabulous outfits … but is something missing? Will the Tiny Tailors find what they need in time?

Written, illustrated and designed by me, I have poured my heart and soul into these books and I hope they bring you joy. Stay tuned to see who will feature next in the series! Available here in my online store.

Wall Mural, Readings Emporium

Kerstin Thompson Architects engaged me to illustrate a wall mural for the new Readings store at Emporium. I created a giant, rambling garden canopy, growing over the children’s bookshelves, and peeking out from the deep windows. It was a dream job to translate my drawings onto the Readings walls, my hope is that even grownups will feel a sense of child-like wonder when they find themselves beneath the giant blades of grass and flowers.
