There are lots of lovely rewards available from me and other artists for your donations. Please see the link for more info. Any donation is hugely appreciated! Thank you :-)

Our beautiful @jamaicastreetstudios is up for sale and we have the opportunity to buy it to keep it in the artist community and stop it from being sold to developers. To do this we have to raise £85,000, we are 40% of the way - we need your help! crowdfunder.co.uk/p/jss

@CMW2786 @RobCrossley4 Thanks for sharing Mr.W! I hope you enjoy reading Shackleton’s Journey :-)

Thank you @RobCrossley4 for opening my eyes to @williamgrill work. Unbelievably gripping stories with beautiful illustrations to match. Just Shackleton to read now. Top recommendations that I’ll be passing on!📚📚

@RobCrossley4 Thanks for sharing Rob! 🐘🐘🐘

6. Bandoola @williamgrill ‘The illustrations are stunning and the story is unbelievable.’

Top 10 of the Year 🧵! But this isn't mine, it's the current Y6s I taught in Y5 last year. They've carried on borrowing my books and I asked them to vote on their Top 3 books, I created a points system and now, based on those results - I have their Top 10 books for Y5 and Y6...

@StBPrimWorcs @FlyingEyeBooks Thank you! :-) Good observations… I like the meaning they are reading from the dark blue! Hope the children enjoy the inside of the book too!

Year 6 started this absolute masterpiece from @williamgrill today. “I wonder if the blue is sea, white is ice and the black is being trapped.” All from the cover illustration and before they knew the title!! @FlyingEyeBooks

@ottieandthebea @Zjsaw Thanks for having us! Happy New Year to you all :-)

What a wonderful Christmas Eve thanks to ⁦@williamgrill⁩ and ⁦@Zjsaw⁩ Thank you to everyone who popped along 📚🎄❤️ instagram.com/p/Cmj2t6Go8mP/…

@RobCrossley4 @FlyingEyeBooks Wow thanks for the lovely review Rob! Made my day reading that :-) So glad your daughter enjoyed it!

Incredible non-fiction, in the hands of a true master, is something to cherish. Read this to Child 1 tonight from start to finish, it blew her away and she can't wait to take into school tomorrow to lend it to her teacher. What.A.Book.👏 @williamgrill @FlyingEyeBooks

@jacksloan @KateBusby9 @mini_lebowski Thanks Jack :-) Hope you’re all doing well at Hanover!

I’m looking for some amazing non-fiction books to inspire our KS2 children-they love learning about the world. Could you suggest fabulous recommendations please?

@stephen_collins Had this exact same discussion recently Stephen, it’s a really interesting one… I wholeheartedly agree though! ✏️

@AlexDMinton @stephen_collins A sketchbook :-) and a couple of pens / pencils / or crayons. I think they’re a great foundation for drawing, experimenting, making up characters etc etc

@stephen_collins That’s helpful actually, we were thinking of getting the pro for my daughter as she likes to make animations too. Any other Christmas gift advice for a wannabe illustrator?

@RBrightBooks @leannemfelton @eventsofwonder @CressidaCowell You’re welcome Rachel! Glad they enjoyed it :-) Lovely to meet you all!

@leannemfelton @eventsofwonder @CressidaCowell @williamgrill You were totally amazing @leannemfelton I just can’t say thank you enough! My girls also fell in love with you! 💖💖💖

Spent today helping out at Wild Wonder fest @eventsofwonder! What a gorgeous day surrounded by nature and hearing @CressidaCowell talk about dragons. Lovely meeting you @RBrightBooks @williamgrill 🐀🐘
