Anna Hibiscus Song (the Parcel Arrives)
May 12th
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

a facinating interlude watching all the hives being opened.
Web Sight Chainge’a’round
Apr 17th
Hi
I am trying to have a bit of a springclean around the websight,
moving a few old cobwebs having a little hoover round.
put a few new ones up on my gallery.
little problem is i am not so adept at sorting it all out so apologies if a few of the images are taking a little while to load.
they will get sorted out soon but do need a cup before i try and sort that out.
Also i am pretty much up to my eyeballs with Driver Dan’s Story train at the min. so , as they say …bear with, bear with.
so heres a little sneaky from my desk.
i am trying to peace together a little story to accompany this character…in progress .
