The Amazing Unusual Animal ABC

I have completed my latest adventure in children's book writing:

A is for apple, B for book? Says who? Here is an ABC book featuring some of the lesser known creatures of the world, with a bit of information about each.

Some sample pages:

The Book of Revelation

I have decided to try my hand at illustrating an existing text, and chose the Biblical Book of Revelation (King James Version). It was an interesting challenge, because I'm not really used to this sort of weighty subject matter!

After rather more delay and bureaucracy than I expected of a book with a text in the public domain, it has finally been published.

Get the paperback version here.

There seems to currently be some sort of issue with availability of the e-book - watch this page for updates.

Sun, Moon and Sky

My new children's book, Why the Sun and Moon live in the Sky is now available for sale at Amazon, in both paperback and e-book versions. It is a retelling of a Nigerian  folktale, with new, original illustrations.

A Whale of a Tale

My latest venture in children's books, The Tale of Wally Whale, is finally available! It turned out to be a bit of a battle.

I decided to try out a new format, in which I stretch a single illustration across two facing pages - this is a popular format for children's books. Alas, I simply could not get Amazon's software to accept the paperback version of the manuscript. Either they simply cannot print it that way, or I did something wrong, but even with the friendly help of human operators at Amazon, I could not get the manuscript print-ready; I have no idea what went wrong.

This went on for weeks, and I eventually gave up. Looks like this one will only be available in electronic format!

EDIT, 23/7/2020: I decided to give it another go, and this time round managed to solve the technical problems. The book is finally available in a paperback format too.

Feeling sick to his stomach for no good reason, Wally has to travel all the way to the coral reef, to go ask the Sea Wizard for a cure... Ages 5 - 8.

A YUGE cow

EDIT, 27/11/2019:

The book announced below has since been unpublished, so it is no longer available at Amazon. I have decided to make it available for free at a rather nice little website I just discovered, called Storyweaver.

My latest children's book, Itumeleng and the Moo-normous Cow, is finally available!

You can read the first few pages on my Books page here.

An Afrikaans version is also available:

It's a bit of a departure from my previous books, in that it is extensively illustrated. I had so much fun with it, I think I'm going to stick to this format for a while!
