Loved reading this Nicola! Firstly, thanks so much for the slipper tip! I have been on the lookout for a new pair, as I definitely suffer from cold illustrator toes too!
Secondly, Giraffe and a half looks and sounds so great! I can’t wait to read it. Standing out and feeling different is something that most children will identify with, and with it being such a personal story from you, I know it will be even more special.
Also, I also am obsessed with walking every day AND take pics as momentos. I’ve never taken themed photos like that on my walks, but on holiday this year I “collected” lions and hand lettering (in monuments etc) and it made it extra fun to hunt for things like that! I will deffo join in with your prompt! X
Thanks for such a lovely response Ella. The walking and pic taking is SO valuable for my MH. And has had such a positive response here so I'm going to try starting prompts on Threads - I just need to think of a good name. And thanks for kind words about Giraffe. Of all my books I feel quite nervous about it reaching the wild, but I hope it will be a useful and uplifting book. Xx
Thanks so much Nanette. I can't recommend the slippers highly enough, and thanks for kind words about Giraffe. She's starting to get just a little bit of stage fright!
I love the book penpals idea .
We’re living in Canada atm (moved from the uk last year) but I hope I remember this when we go back - not sure when - and I could maybe join in !
Sadly the organisers are not able to continue with it formally, but it would still be great to make informal links like this.

I’m absolutely sure it will be!
Ahh, I’m not on threads, but will join in virtually anyway! X
Giraffe and a half sounds wonderful! I’m with you on a lovely pair of slipper socks this time of year too! 🍂

A very enjoyable read and I can’t wait for Giraffe and a Half!
Thank you so much Jane. She can't wait to meet you either X
