What the Fluffy Bunny said to the Hungry Hippo

Last year I worked on the upcoming picture book ‘What the Fluffy Bunny Said to The Hungry Hippo’.
Written by P.Crumble, this quirky story follows the adventurous lengths one rabbit will go to in order to find 
some delicious Easter eggs. This egg-citing new instalment in the series will be available from March 1st 2019.
 This picture book is the follow-up title from last year’s ‘What the Fluffy Bunny Said to The Growly Bear’
written by P.Crumble and Published by Scholastic Australia.

Wish

“Once every year, wishes take flight,
Filled with hope and twinkling light...”
My new picture book ‘Wish’ is now available for pre-order! This is my debut book as both the author and illustrator. 
Wish explores the nature of what a wish is, through the journey of a little Rabbit who is unwaveringly selfless and kind.
With the help of his friends Mouse, Fox and Bear, Rabbit discovers that thinking of others can sometimes bring the
greatest rewards of all.
I can only show the front cover for now. I’ll share more about the book and the development process close to,
and after its release. For any updates be sure to follow me on Instagram.

Beatrix Potters Hill Top Farmhouse


On a recent trip to Ambleside, situated in the Lake District, we visited Beatrix Potter's 17th Century Hill Top Farmhouse
The property was purchased after the release and unprecedented success of her first book-The Tale of Peter Rabbit.
The Farmhouse was subsequently left in the hands of the National Trust in 1943 when Beatrix Potter passed away. 

You are initially invited down the garden path into a setting that will prove both evocative and somewhat surreal to any
admirer of Beatrix Potter's works. The vegetable garden will undoubtably rekindle childhood memories of mischievous
rabbits in little blue jackets bound for adventure. 

Hill Top remains lovingly and authentically the home of Beatrix Potter, a detailed time capsule of her life and works,
still brimming with personality. The hay meadows are dutifully managed, serving as a poignant reminder whilst similar
sites around the country are suffering degradation and decline.

Hill Top is a microcosm of agricultural, cultural and historical significance; fittingly and perhaps most importantly,
it remains a source of inspiration, a timeless classic.

It's worth mentioning that some of the products in the gift shop are exclusive to Hill Top and that purchases help to
conserve these wonderful and significant sites.
