My first picture book with Scholastic, 'Troubletops and the new baby', is being released on March the 7th. Hurrah!

Troubletops is a troublesome little toddler that gets up to mischief and has a habit of splattering everything in paint. It is my first semi-autobiograpical picture book. Troubletops is helped on his adventures by Morgan the Morganucodon - a prehistoric rodent. Morgan was intended to be a background character that I would sneak in every now and again for my own amusement. But he quickly became the hero of the story.

When Troubletops Mum and Dad have a new baby, a biscuit munching baby called Tinytops (again semi-autobiographical), Troubletops begins to feel left out and so follows the only logical course of action. Q mild peril and some lovely purple trees.
Here comes Trouble!
