This week saw the first pre-release review for Ollie and Augustus in Books + Publishing with a 4.5 stars rating.
“Evans’ illustrations are so pleasing – recalling, in the best way, illustrations such as Emily Gravett and Peter H. Reynolds.” Extract – Books + Publishing.
There’s a combination of excitement and trepidation knowing my book is already winging its way around Australian book reviewers.
I’ve ended my week with the return of my art from Walker Books Australia. It’s been a year since I’ve seen them and I’d forgotten how BIG Augustus is in this picture! Love revisiting the artwork. It’s like I’m seeing them for the first time.
