I’m very happy to be heading back to the Edinburgh International Book Festival this year. I will be with David Almond on the 25th August live drawing along to David’s excellent ‘War Is Over’ book. Then on 25th August I’ll be rock and/or rolling with the Bear Band for ‘The Bear, The Piano, The Dog & The Fiddle’ hope to see you there 😊😁👏❤️ #illustrator #illustratoroninstagram #edinburghbookfestival #eibf2019 #thebearthepianothedogandthefiddle #davidalmond #warisover https://www.instagram.com/p/B0aYu1snppe/?igshid=10i3ing1lb1dl

More exciting David Almond news to share. I'm so happy to reveal the cover I drew for 'War Is Over' David's new book which will be published this November. The book also includes a number of my interior illustrations and I couldn't be prouder to work on such a brilliant book :) #illustration #illustratorsoninstagram #illustratorsofinstagram #instabook #bookcover #newbook #instaart #davidalmond #warisover https://www.instagram.com/p/BnnwpIzgU40/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qmh1d5t3xzc5

#bonemusic #davidalmond @hachettekids . Published in HB APRIL 1ST .love the striking cover by @david_c_litchfield . #MGBOOKDESCRIPTION . .Bone music explores the connections between past and present between civilisation and wilderness. At its heart is The Unforgettable Sylvia Carr who moves from city to the forest and is 'rewilded' . .Sylvia moves from the city of Newcastle to the wild Northumberland where she meets Gabriel a strange yet familiar boy. In nature Sylvia encounters her ancient self. Can this experience helped her face the challenges of the modern world? . . sounds most intriguing. I loved My Name is Mina so am looking forward to reading this https://www.instagram.com/p/CM-hZbELvk1/?igshid=16mekd4e40237

I love David Almond’s writing, and this was another beautiful (if relatively short) story, focusing on a young boy in WWI England. Almond does a fantastic job showing how the so-called complexities of war look through a child’s eyes, but he also shows how adults can get caught up in war fervor and propaganda without necessarily realizing that they aren’t really thinking about it. Short and sweet, but far from simple beneath the surface, this quick read makes me want to go back and read more of Almond’s books that I’ve missed. #thismakesmehappy #books #2020reading #middlegradebooks #davidalmond #historicalfiction #wwifiction https://www.instagram.com/p/CDMLbTHBVJi/?igshid=h907hvfsh60f
