I want to say a huge thank you to my hosts – for their time, web space and support. Some are writers, some are storytellers and all are readers, passionate about children’s books.

And now it is my great pleasure (and huge fun) to swap hats and host Claire Saxby and her brand new picture book – Sheep, Goat and the Creaking Gate. What a great title and we’ll be delving into where that came from when Claire visits here on Thursday 20 August.
