Have You Seen My Giraffe . . . in Richmond?!

Thanks to the Alligator's Mouth for the warm welcome!

Claire Powell is the most wonderful illustrator!

The shop (which is a children's book fan's paradise!) was packed with young giraffe spotters who watched Claire draw (scroll down for a pic!) while they listened to our story - they even let us paint their cheeky faces.
​
We've loved visiting schools in Hampton and Crouch End, larking about with very magic markers, face paint and ossicones. Yes, ossicones - those knobbly horns on the top of a giraffe's head. Thanks to all who joined the fun, and to Hannah and Elisa at Simon & Schuster who helped it all run smoothly.

​Huge thanks to the Alligator's Mouth in Richmond for welcoming me and illustrator Claire Powell to their wonderful book shop yesterday! Clever clogs Claire designed, made and installed a really funny window display based on our picture book, 'Have You Seen My Giraffe?'
