i really, really hate asking things like this, but if you have been reading, gifting or enjoying ‘Nano’ by me and Melissa Castrillón it would be ~really~ nice if you could review it (on Amazon/ Waterstones/ wherever you shop!). apparently it’s very important for their algorithm 🤖

Went to Children'sAtHeffers today post jab and it is just so wonderful to be surrounded again by the work of friends and colleagues I met either here or in the far past.

What we do is amazing.
Love you illustrators ❤️❤️❤️
