Picture Book Launch! Ice in the Jungle

The book launch of my debut picture book took place at Daunt Books Holland Park on April the 14th and it couldn’t have been a more charming venue. A lovely traditional bookshop with a cute and well selected children’s and picture book collection.

It was a pleasure to see so many familiar and new faces and I felt very proud being able to present my book and give a reading. Thank you to all who came and joined in the fun!

Old and young enjoyed themselves on this mild evening and not many cupcakes survived. If you could not make it, here are some photos of what you have missed. There are a few signed copies of my book left at the shop and Amazon UK has finally restocked and you can order it from there or from the Child’s Play book shop. Please also if you like the book leave a review on those pages so others know a bit more about it :)
