OH Sally!
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous!! Makes me so happy to see kids drawing BBB!
Hopefully Hardie grant will keep releasing more BBB,I just love working with you Sally!
Yes, they adore your illustrations, Aki. I am so lucky Hardie Grant found you!
ReplyDeleteI love the drawings done by the children, and we are really loving the books in our shop. This year there have been a lot of books released for boys in that 5-8 age range, not many at all for girls, so we were very glad to get your books in. Love your work, Heather @Fairfieldbooks, Fairfield.
ReplyDeleteHi Heather, thanks for leaving a comment. Yes, aren't the drawings sweet? I just had a look at your great blog and have linked it to mine. I'm so glad you like the Billie books - I am very excited about them. Do let me know if you'd like me to come in and sign some - I'm not far from Fairfield.
ReplyDeleteHi Sally, I'd love you to come in and sign some copies of the books. I have quite a few now, but give me a week or so, and I'll get some more in. It would be lovely to meet you. Cheers, Heather
ReplyDeleteOK, great Heather. Just let me know when.
ReplyDeleteHi Sally. I've got quite a few Billie B Browns in now, so if you would like to come in any time now, we'd love you to sign some books. (Preferably not Monday next week as we are stocktaking, and that is very distracting.) Cheers, Heather
ReplyDeleteHi Heather, that's great. I am heading off to QLD this Tuesday so could pop in tomorrow if you are open, otherwise some time the week after.
ReplyDeleteLet me know what suits you.
Whatever works for you Sally, you obviously have a lot of commitments. Cheers, Heather
