If I sit very still, like this, right in front of Mum, she’ll surely have to give me some toast, right? My view at breakfast every morning 😹😹 Anyone else have a cat who likes to beg? Happy #caturday from me and Momo 😻

“The Commander drew closer. 'The Dark Hearts recognise neither family nor friendship and will gladly betray one another if it serves their purpose. They are only interested in what they can get.’” Amelie Trott & The Earth Watchers by @moyra.irving is a delightful middle-grade adventure story which brought to mind awe-inspiring child activist, Greta Thunberg and my childhood love of Enid Blyton's Famous Five Series. Amelie Trott and her brother, Tim live in Hadleigh House, a falling-down manor house in a quaint seaside town in England. They live with their grieving artist mother, ancient great-grandfather, Freddie the black cat, Lara the dog, and a ghost in the attic. But not all is as it seems, when the children and their friend Isla, uncover evil plans to throw them out of Hadleigh House forever. Amelie Trott & The Earth Watchers is a warm-hearted, wonderfully entertaining tale about family, friendship (including intergalactic friends!), people power and what it means to fight for world peace. Highly recommended for children everywhere. Publisher's blurb: When would-be author, Amelie Trott, meets a ten foot tall stranger on the stairs she is faced with an impossible challenge: to rescue her family home from the clutches of the devious Bottomley-Slighs. However, she is soon to discover that this is simply a rehearsal for averting a more sinister danger still - the End of the World... This is the extraordinary story of how one small girl stopped a planetary catastrophe. It's a very timely book, written for the child in us all, with a forceful message about the power of young people to transform the world - a theme currently demonstrated by brave young heroes like Greta Thunberg. And with magical synchronicity, the very week Greta began her lone vigil outside the Swedish government last year, over 1,000 miles (1,897 km) away in the fictional world of books, Amelie Trott took to Parliament Square, London - on a mission to avert the End of the World. Amelie Trott & The Earth Watchers is published by @dixibooks and due for release on 28 March 2020. It is available for pre-order from major online book retailers.

My writing journey never fails to scare me silly! Cross your fingers, toes, arms, legs, and eyes. Claire and Marmalade are going on an adventure and we need lots of luck and good wishes. Phew, I definitely need a cuppa now...

‘How will the world change if we do not question it?’ Kate DiCamillo’s The Magician’s Nephew is a story of questions, magic, hope, and impossible dreams. It is beautiful (I’m a big fan of DiCamillo’s work). I borrowed this book yesterday because luckily I had a meeting at my local library. Afterwards, the kid and I shared a very scrummy chocolate tart! Hope your Friday is full of impossible, wonderful dreams which may just come true! 💙

It was wonderful creating this book with @purealism and @dixibooks 💙 #Repost @purealism with @get_repost ・・・ It’s finally here - #clairemalonechangestheworld the book by the very talented author @nadialking with my (humble) illustrations.
