Six years ago I illustrated a little, A5 sized, hardback book for Usborne Children’s Books.
It was a story called “The Dinosaur Who Lost His Roar” and was written by the uber-talented and prolific Russell Punter.
Yesterday, a parcel arrived at the house and inside were six, full-sized picture book versions of the book, which I had no idea were going to be made. Result!
It doesn’t come out until August, but “Hooray” for Usborne and “Hooray” for unexpected presents.

Still one of Mickey’s favourite books!
He’s obviously an excellent human being with wisdom and knowledge far beyond his years!
