I do have published titles that are entirely 2D artwork rather than models, but this gallery also contains snippets from as yet unpublished work, such as "The Bedtime Boat", a rhyming bedtime story about a boy whose bed floats away as he sleeps, and "The Cupboard under the Stairs", an idea for a series of quirky stories about a magical, nonsensical cupboard full of mischief and adventure, and "Let's Pretend" featuring Alfie the tapir, a story about how children can be when they get nervous, and little ways we can gently encourage them.
See the gallery for 'Story Recordings' on the portfolios page to listen to 'The Bedtime Boat' and other stories in full.
