25.01.2022 The REAL PIGEONS are back and BREADY for crime-fighting action! In these strange times, I hope this happy yellow book offers kids and families a lift, an escape, and a chance to have a laugh. REAL PIGEONS GET BREADY is out now. The REAL PIGEONS are a team of crime-fighters who battle baddies wherever they go! But fighting crime is hard when the city mayor has BANNED all birds, a BREAD MONSTER is on the loose and EVIL BUNNIES are taking over! Can the Real Pigeons save the d...ay when they're the ones in trouble? Thank you to the amazing team at @hardiegrantchildrenspublishing for their publishing wizardry, and to @roman_italic for her incredible designing skills.

23.01.2022 I had my final virtual Book Week school visit today for 2020. Thank you so much to all the schools who happily had me beam into their classrooms and let me be a big talking head on your smart boards and screens. It was really fun! A big shout out to the amazing team at @bookedoutagency who organize author and illustrators school visits. Thanks Booked Out! #bookweek2020 #bookweek #thankyou #cbcabookweek2020 #cbca

20.01.2022 Here's a little video Ben Wood Illustrator and I made recently about REAL PIGEONS. Was especially great to talk about how the books use humour, fast-moving stories and an integrated mix of words and illustrations to hook kids and build a love of reading.

19.01.2022 SURPRISE it's a new episode of The Super Coo Club! Andrew and I share a first look at #RealPigeonsGetBready (out next week), and reveal a special puzzle box set! There's also a new challenge for everyone at home- creating characters made from bread! Yum yum.
18.01.2022 I love public holidays because I find them really productive work days. Freelancer life! Here’s an old watercolour detail from one of my notebooks. I love the interaction happening between these characters. #benwood #benwoodillustrator #kidlitart #draw #childrensbooks #painting #dogpainting #dogsofinstagram #kidlitart #kidsbooks #sketch #sketchbook #create #creativeideas #illustrationartists #illustration_daily #illustration #illustrator #fundrawing #moleskine #moleskinejournal #artjournal #australianartist #australianillustrator #ink #inkdrawing #watercolor #watercolors

16.01.2022 Andrew and I have been getting such lovely feedback from readers about the latest Real Pigeons book, Real Pigeons Get Bready. It makes my heart sing! I can’t believe I started working on this book while I was in quarantine after returning from overseas. Working on this bright happy book got me through a lot of this strange year. I’m so glad it has brought fun and silliness to readers too. Thank you booksellers and readers for your excitement, enthusiasm and support!
