Great fun to meet my pirate crew of thirty or so children with their families at Barnes Children’s Literature Festival last saturday, and see some brilliant treasure maps as well as super inventive piratical portraits. With thanks to Arnhel de Serra for photographs.
Many thanks to Barnes Bookshop for being there and selling copies of my Draw It! series of seven activity books for children, published by Bloomsbury Children’s Books, including Draw It! Pirates, and of course, many thanks to my lovely crew and to Barnes Children’s Literature Festival for asking me along.
After my event and book signing I met up with other authors in the Festival’s Green Room and persuaded them to join my pirate crew … Petr Horacek, Emma Carroll and Candy Gourlay.
