I am thrilled to announce that I will be publishing my first picture book with dynamic publisher Nosy Crow. The book is called OCTOPUS SHOCKTOPUS and will be illustrated by the very brilliant and hilarious Steven Lenton, who illustrated our picture book version of Dodie Smith’s The Hundred and One Dalmatians. It will be great to work once again with Lou Bolongaro, who was my editor at Puffin Books on my bestselling book with Helen Oxenbury, King Jack and the Dragon.
