Congratulations Charlotte! I popped in on Wednesday and your work really made me smile. It was great to hold the dummies in my hands - even better than seeing them online x

Ahh so fantastic to see this project all coming together- I absolutely loved going through the book at the exhibition, especially the snail crossing! It made me laugh out loud! I hope it gets snapped up by a publisher 🤩🧡🩷

This is wonderful. Congratulations. It wouldn’t be children’s illustration without play.

The speeding sandcastle is my favourite! What a great project and yes I agree very strongly- nothing good happens without play

Thanks so much Jane! The sandcastle appears as a replacement car after a breakdown on the beach. I really loved making that one.

Love it! I play too when I’m stuck with work. The little vehicles remind me of Richard Scarry’s vehicles. My favourite is the fish sisters I think as they are such unlikely land racers. Good luck with your exhibition!
