Ah yes, that resolution I made
about this blog at the start of January?
I’d meant
to start again, honest, but there wasn’t a moment of spare time, or spare
brain, come to that.
I was intending to re-start blogging here
right after the tidying away of the tree and decorations on Twelfth Night . Then
a horrid bug crept in – lots of groo and atishoo
all round the house – followed by a week of scary tax accounts. I had a local
library meeting to go to, and a couple of urgent blogposts needed elsewhere.
However, I
think almost all the catching up’s done now so today’s a day for a small
celebration. Today’s post brought my five author copies of a new book:
The
Great Chapatti Chase.
It’s my
version of a familiar story format – and
no, I’m not going to tell you which! – and one I’ve enjoyed telling on
school and library visits for quite a while.
I’ve even told it at the
Bookaroo Children’s Literature Festival in Delhi. Here’s the cheerful cover:
Thank
you, artist Laura Sua, for all of the brilliant and clever illustrations between these pages.
Happy sigh. Yes, the nice times of 2015 have begun. Happy New Year, everyone!
