So excited am now blogging in my dressingown!

I have just received a couple of copies of Anna Hibiscus song

Published by the lovely people at Walker books.

and the American copy published by Kane Miller (also i am sure lovely)

Its a huge moment for me so bear with this rather gushy Blog post ..well i suppose you can always stop reading :-)

This is my very first picture book and I really can’t explain without sounding a total nut how much this means.

(as anyone who has been on an illustration course probably knows )

any who i will post a photo of me dressingown and rumpled hair and of course the book….wooooooooooo!

Well its out on the 4th of August in the UK and september in the US .

and i hope you all like it .

trust me I will remind you all when its published :-)

Oh i wrote a bit more but it sounded like an oscar speech ….so i will stop babbling now.

thanks  Julia Thompson xx Lucy

and of course  Atinuke. x
