The story of my book ‘Thank you for feeding Freckle’

I recently wrote and illustrated a children’s book – a dream of mine for a long time – and it has just been published! And what a wild ride it has been to get here. Whether you’re a budding author yourself, or just interested in the process of what it takes to get a book printed, I thought I would share my journey as well as some of the inspiration behind the book itself.
