It’s been under wraps for quite a while but now that it’s officially up on  the publisher’s website, I am delighted to  announce the forthcoming appearance of Santagram, my picture book with illustrator Shiloh Gordon, which will be published by Hardie Grant Egmont in October, ready for the Christmas market. And here is the joyful, lively, and characterful cover–isn’t it wonderfully appealing! Shiloh has created a fabulous visual world full of magic, humour and fun, perfect for a story that I so much enjoyed writing: it was just pure, playful pleasure! And what’s more–look closely at the cover, there is going to be a real letter and envelope with it! For someone who absolutely loves The Jolly Postman, that is a dream come true 🙂

 

Here’s the blurb for the book:

Santa’s mailbox is overflowing.

Santa loves getting letters, but the elves are FED UP with sorting through the huge piles of mail.
Surely an app would be better – quick, easy and heaps of fun! They’ll call it ‘Santagram’.

But once the letters stop arriving, will they be missed?

Can Santa use social media? And should he? This is a Christmas story with a twist that will have the whole family laughing out loud.

 

The book can be pre-ordered at lots of different bookshops and retail outlets, check the list out here.
