My third book, Hilda and the Runaway Baby, published by Walker Books, is available now!
I should write a proper blogpost about this really – it has been a fairly epic process, during which I became very attached to this friendliest and reddest of pigs. However, I am printing monsters at a million miles an hour for my fourth book so I will just have to do it inaminute. Meanwhile, here is a post about how it was not the most sensible thing to screenprint and here are some places to get your very own Hilda in English or French.

The Runaway Baby
Here’s one of the spreads I entered in the Macmillan Prize (see Pigs win prizes), there’s another on the Llamas page. I best do some more now.
And here are all the winning and commended Cambridge students with tutors Pam Smy and Martin Salisbury (both on left) at the opening:
Pigs win prizes!
I entered The Runaway Baby, which is very much work-in-progress, in the Macmillan Prize last week, and am very very happy to hear it’s won the Lara Jones Award.
This is a new part of the Macmillan Prize in memory of the creator of Poppy Cat, and is for illustration for babies and very young children. So the Runaway Baby, and Hilda, will be in the gallery at Foyles Charing Cross Road from May 29th until the 1st of June (Tuesday-Friday), with all the winning and highly commended entries, including work by four other people from the Cambridge MA. There may well be a beautiful whale and some very impressive moorhens.
