- Picbooks -The tree tales (a bereavement story-) Dillys, Britains got talent- Dillys find a hero and Dillys does it ( a dancing sheep) Timid Tina and her magic glasses,(A STORY about A girl who hates wearing glasses...-Timid tina NOT a brideSmaid.
- If you had to recommend just one children's book you've read in the last year, what would it be?
- Anything by Mary Hoffman (just saw her on the retreat!)or Anthony Browne.
- What is the most important thing you learned about writing or illustrating this year?
- Don't feel guilty! ( quote by Mary Hoffman!)
