A Tale of Greed, Financial Mismanagement and Rabbits
This was a children’s book I wrote at the end of 2009, when the collapse of the banks was big news. It went on to win the Macmillan Prize for Children’s Book Illustration, but never saw the light of day as a published book, partly because it was thought that the world financial turmoil would be ancient history by the time it reached print, after two years.
Well here we are, and it’s still big news, so it’s now available as an ebook, downloadable from the iBookstore. If you have an iPad then you might like to get it.
Here are a couple of pages to give you a flavour.

Forgive me for putting in a quick shout for a new weekly comic that’s coming in January: The Phoenix. Well, Issue 1 swoops in on January 7th but there’s a free special taster Issue Zero right now, via a promotional code to be found in Waitrose Weekend magazine.
Marvellous reasons to get the comic:
Let’s start a British children’s comics renaissance right now!
I get lots of emails asking me to insert ads for spurious junk into this blog, but I don't believe in it. If you enjoy this blog and would like to 'pay' something then you could buy one of my books, review it on Amazon, or buy me a book from my Amazon wish list. To those who have done this, I am very grateful. Thanks.
