@therroneill A beautiful story that resonates with everyone who shares it. To not only see it translated in a different language but hear it is truly wonderful. The journey of One Thought (from the day it was itself a thought) continues to ripple kindness wherever it's shared.

Hearing your story read in a different language is a wonderful thing! Special edition designed by @Michell17299340 We'll be sharing it with our teacher friends over the next couple of weeks. #books #community

@therroneill So many story characters wanting to share their favourite book - The Duck of Yolk didn't quite make the photoshoot as he and his ten thousand hens are juggling an upcoming book launch which includes venturing up the serpentine steps of Carlisle Town Hall @DiscoverCarlisl

Love this @Michell17299340

@therroneill @DelamereAcademy & vice versa - I'm having too much fun creating some new illustrations which include some amazing sketches by children. They are inspiring me to explore and revist the joy of drawing and I'm so excited to see how our creative collaborations will appear in a new picture book.

@Michell17299340 @DelamereAcademy I love the way your art inspires children and adults.

@therroneill @DelamereAcademy Aw wow! I love all those bears, they're grrrreat

@DelamereAcademy Brilliant! @Michell17299340

@therroneill @Future4fairs @NationalDayCal @AlderTreeLeeds Ooh think we need to spin that little candy floss nugget into the @AlderTreeLeeds book -

@Future4fairs @NationalDayCal Count us is, eh? @AlderTreeLeeds @Michell17299340

@therroneill @AlderTreeLeeds A marvelous morning - so many wonderful ideas shared. Always a treat to work in collaboration with @AlderTreeLeeds.

@Michell17299340 and I had a fabulous morning with 3T from @AlderTreeLeeds working on drafting and editing our Candy floss book. Excellent writing and artistic choices. Cannot wait to move onto the next phase in January.

What a brilliant book launch this afternoon in Chester. Artwork and production by @Michell17299340 Story, editing, and signing by the @readygen crew. So much love and laughter. #community #intergenerational

It's all about owls...

@therroneill @AlderTreeLeeds The characters are taking shape nicely, ready for the next chapter in building the story... Did someone mention candy floss? #fairbear loves candy floss & stories. A story inspired by her favourite fairground treat has certainly got her attention.

@AlderTreeLeeds Great working with you, 3RT I can't wait to see your Candy Floss artwork when the amazing @Michell17299340 works with you.

3RT have been working hard and showing their teamwork as Collaborative Camels! 🐫 Together, we helped author Mr. O'Neil write a book! 📚 Well done, 3RT! #Teamwork #CreativeLearning #CollaborativeCamels #Proud
