I co-wrote this rhyming picture book with Bubbly-Doo CEO Toine Habets, and it’s illustrated by Karolina Piotrowska.
It’s aimed at babies, and families and friends of babies! Available at BubblyDoo. (You can personalise details and add a name, or just enjoy it name-free.)

The latest picture book released by BubblyDoo is a celebration of fun, determination and football. The words are by me and the gorgeous illustrations are by Raitan Ohi.

You can have a go at personalising it at BubblyDoo and read the full story in the preview!

I’ve been editing picture books for the wonderful Belgium-based personalised book publisher BubblyDoo for while now. Today is the launch of their first book written by me!
It’s a Father’s Day book, and the illustrations by Raitan Ohi are extremely cute.
Here’s a link to the book page in the UK:

It will soon be available in other languages, too.

I’ve been helping out behind the scenes of these absolutely gorgeous picture books. They’re highly personalisable, and you can insert all kinds of details of a child you know – or of yourself. They’re so cute! (And yes, I have tried it myself!)
Have a go at putting yourself in a story at BubblyDoo…

Here I am, quite a few years ago now, at Edinburgh Libraries’ fabulous Glitz Lit meeting. Very happy memories!
