Scrummy! is the new Sunny McCloud story.

It is all about families and sandwiches (two of my favourite things by the way).

Scrummy end papers

here are the end papers of the new Sunny McCloud book "SCRUMMY" thati have just finished.
(All about food, sandwiches and families)
A bit of a shame as these end papers i LOVE - but we aren't going to use them.
Will have to come up with some new ones.
ah well...

what we did at the Smile! event (polka dot theatre)

here is just some of the fun bits and bobs we did that day...

we all coloured and snip snipped

we read the book and talked about what makes us smile (gazing at clouds, chocolate cake, funny jokes and watching dogs run about)

then i was starstruck and met the lovely Roger McGough (that made me smile by the way)
he signed his new book for me, and I signed my book for him (crumbs... fancy that!)

... ah, what a nice day (and what a pink cardigan)
i do hope that everyone else had a nice time, thanks for comming!

what a BRILLIANT place the Polka Dot Theatre is.
So much fun and creativity in one place.
I must go there again soon.

my new book SMILE! is out now. Goody gumdrops.

Sunny searches everywhere for her smile: under the sofa, in the dog basket, in all her pockets, yet it's nowhere to be found. But while she is busy searching and playing and having fun looking something special happens...

you can buy it on amazon here.. SMILE!
