My first #littlebook is almost out into the world. #Beachcombing is a fav past-time of mine. I put together #illustrations & #mindfulness thoughts with love, about the pleasures it can provide. Go lil book, #drift with the wind. #seaglasshunting #mudlarking #seasidewalks

I did it! I fulfilled a dream I’ve had ever since my daughter was born… I read her my own book at bedtime.
Excuse me while I have a moment. #parent #author #picturebook #publishing

Grouped by personal significance THEN within each group by height — unless it’s a set, in which case, in order they should be read.
This is an exact science…

For this final (for now) thread on the Ahlbergs I wanted to focus on their daughter, Jessica's and how she inspired some of their most beloved books.
"The Baby's Catalogue" came from her love of pictures in catalogues, even the garden tool section. #ChildrensLiterature (1/5)

When Albert Einstein met Charlie Chaplin in 1931, Einstein said, "What I admire most about your art is its universality. You do not say a word, and yet the world understands you." "It's true." Replied Chaplin, "But your fame is even greater. The world admires you, when no one understands you."

My 5-year-old told me a school friend gave him his address so he can go over for play dates.
The address:

Writers, don’t fall into the trap of feeling bad because of all the news of big deals coming out of London Book Fair. It’s just that these people are better looking and more talented than you.
