I would love everyone to know about my latest picture book, my first with Walker Books. It’s a Christmassy book, in that it is about two Christmas decorations, two wooden angels called Angelo and Angelina, who have been with their owner, Mrs Lovely, all her life. The book is actually set outside Christmas, in Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, in that it is about what happens when Mrs Lovely has grown old, and is living alone, and forgets to ask for help to put them back with the other Christmas decorations when Christmas is over. The two angels end up staying out all the year, and seeing the seasons with Mrs Lovely, who finds them great company. Then, one day, Mrs Lovely falls over in her house, and only the little wooden angels know…how do they manage to get help? (Spoiler – it’s a very happy ending!)

The illustrations by Leanne Hatch are gorgeous!

Angelo and Angelina is now available to purchase at Waterstones
