The other day I received a Floris Books catalogue. To my delight, when I opened it up, this is what I saw!
Floris Books are based in Edinburgh and they are going to publish my next book, Lewis Clowns Around. It’s a rhyming story all about a puffin who doesn’t really fit in. One day he decides to leave the crashing waves and tall cliffs to try his luck in the circus!
Lewis is welcomed by the other circus animals and soon he’s working hard on flips and tumbles so he can be a brilliant circus clown. In this picture you can see him being hugged by Carla Koala and his brother Harris, and cheered by the Flying Blue Monkeys, the Balancing Pandas and Zorro the Highwire Cat. Circus life suits him perfectly!
Lewis Clowns Around is coming out on 22 September. If you want to know more about it, just visit the Floris website HERE.
looks good, she’s good at perspective!
Yes, just looking at it makes me feel dizzy!
Very very exciting – I love the way Gabby has ‘Edinburgh-ised’ the story. I think this was just about the first of your stories that I ever read, and I am so pleased that from September everybody else can enjoy it as much as I do.
