Tyger, tyger...


I was delighted to see my picture book The Loudest Roar mentioned in a moving article in the Times this weekend. Simon Barnes' son has done me the great honour of liking (and growling along with) my tiger, Clovis. And I don't even mind playing second fiddle to Judith Kerr after such a compliment. Good luck to you, Eddie, and...

ROOAARRR!

  1. What a moving article...and it's so wonderful to think that your story has played such a huge part in the life of someone you never knew existed until now. Good old Clovis!

  3. Loved that story. To think you so positively touched the life of a child and his family. So cool. You'll never know how many children you make happy with your work. It must be a good feeling.

    On top of it, to be mentioned in the Times. More cool:)

  4. Thank you! Yes, it's usually a complete mystery just where a book goes after publication, so to here of it being read and loved is always a priviledge.

  9. Thanks, Keren. It is moving, though in a positive way. And yes, being mentioned alongside Judith Kerr is very agreeable.
