My debut picture book is published today! It's written by the fabulous Gillian Shields and published by Hodder Children's Books.
Ellie has everything, but she wants more. She wants an elephant. And she won't eat or sleep or brush her hair until she gets one! But when she finally gets her wish, the elephant decides to teach Ellie a thing or two about manners!
It's available here x

DeleteDear Cally!
DeleteI teach English in a primary school near Milan, Italy. I loved your book so much that I decided to read it in class for my second graders and they absolutely adored the story and your amazing illustrations. The children decided which where the important bits of the story and each of them made a mini book full of some amazing illustrations...Some of their elephants are really hilarious :o) Would you like to see them? This activity was super special!!! I even told them I would write to you and let you know! :o)) They were so happy!!
Your illustrations are soooo inspiring!
Thank you sooo much!
PS: Can't wait to see your new book!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lots of love from us all!!!
