Dougal's drawings

Thanks to a gracious loan from a teacher, the boy has started learning how to play the bass… and now he’s in a band 🤘

Last term little miss joined a netball team. On occasion the rules may have been forgotten but everyone had a great time.

@dc_litchfield @davidjalmond Looks like you've made some lovely art David

Not too long until ‘Island’- written by @davidjalmond and drawn by me-is released into the world. Hope that you all enjoy the new illustrated edition of this marvellous book when it is published on 22nd June.

Recently the boy has taught himself to ride a unicycle. (His dad's attempts to learn haven't yielded as much progress)

@nicolasantilli I should add he doesn’t drink the stuff, but I guess he’s interested in the process as he sees me making it each morning

@15mindrawings Aww! Cute!

To our delight the boy has recently learnt how to use the coffee machine at home and on occasion brings us coffee in bed

@JessHealyWalton That's awesome Jess!

@JessHealyWalton @CFordLibrary Thanks for dropping captions on the video 😊

@sophiebeerdraws @JessHealyWalton Oh wow 🤩 I’ve got a big stupid grin on my face that’s so amazing! 😊

@nicolasantilli That’s next in the read pile!

@15mindrawings Aww! One of the first A&U series I worked on 😍 Hope she enjoys 'Battle of Book Week'!

Little miss is very pleased as she has just finished reading her first chapter book! She’s now moved onto reading her second book, while we continue to add books to her reading pile

@nicolasantilli Her first book was “Yours Troolie Alice Toolie” and she’s now reading “the birthday wars” All A&A titles 😊

@15mindrawings 😍👏

@nicolasantilli Happy birthday!

34 🌸

@JessHealyWalton 💔

Sometime ago we were gifted a globe by grandma and grandad. It’s surprising how frequently we pull it out to discuss where places are in the world.

@PennyNevilleLee Congratulations 🎉

The face of someone who just pressed send on the final artwork for their first picture book.
