'Christmas Cobwebs' written by Pippa Goodhart and illustrated by Ema Malyauka and published by the no longer operational Tiny Owl in 2023. If you are lucky you can still get copies of this beautiful book about an old bear holding a Christmas Party and getting upset about 'messy' spider webs.

Bears friends see the beauty of the spider web tree and make her realise how lovely it is.

I love the illustrations for; 'Under the Great Plum Tree' published by Tiny Owl 2019, written by Sufiya Ahmed and illustrated by Reza Dalvand, they have a unique composition and have a great richness whilst also a very stylish emptiness, a perfect balance. 

It is the retelling of a fable from the Panchatantra, an ancient Indian collection of animal fables dated to 300 BCE by Sufiya Ahmed, and it's also a folktale that is shared across the world, with versions found in Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana, China, Japan and the Caribbean.
