Never seen this before.
What looks like a short vertical rainbow just on the horizon.
I took several shots so people might see I did not Photoshop this in.
Sorry, my digital zoom is rubbish on my phone.

The children's picture book I am working on is wonderful. It is a fun rhyming story with vibrant illustrations and a serious message. Disability access and inclusivity.
It is the 2nd book by Lucy Chillery-Watson inspired by her daughter Carmela.
The 1st was a bestseller for us.

Saw someone ask whether bi-annual means twice a year, or once every two years.
But my brain went somewhere else.
A primula in the Bi-pride colours.
Couldn't find a real one & I can't draw, so please forgive me using AI for this. It's still not great. If it was important I'd hire an artist.

16 Threaded Spouts
Back in 2021 a genuine super-mum, Lucy Chillery-Watson, wrote a children's book.
It was inspired by her daughter, Carmela, who has a rare form of muscular dystrophy (LMNA-CMD).
Carmela said that she liked bedtime because she could go on adventures in her dreams without her disability stopping her.

I finally got around to having a banner made.
It might be a teensy bit overkill there but there wasn't space anywhere else.

Just nicked this from FB as it was shared by my friend there who is now also here, and I loved it. @Kate_LynnDevere
She adds "It's okay to talk about how you feel. Nobody can be positive all the time."

Many Devon & Cornwall authors donated stories about homelessness to this book, the editor gave their time for free, so did the layout designer and the cover designer. I published it and ALL profits will go straight to Emmaus Cornwall. https://amzn.to/3KlxWUV

Local market. I wonder what they are planning to make with this piece of timber?
It seems trees like a joke as much as the next man.

I have two copies of this lovely book to give away to two UK schools.
Not expecting much response here as I only have a few connections but if you teach infants or juniors and want to be included I will make a list and choose at random.

Just about to get some copies of a new book printed.
Absolutely love this cover. It's a follow-up to a previous book which was one of our bestsellers.
Should be available to buy in mid March.
