Rockpool Children's Books: December 2013

Monday, 30 December 2013

As publisher and creative director,

and a few other roles, at Rockpool Children's Books,

I've begun to showcase some of the illustrative content of our books.

We're not a huge publisher by any means, and don't have a massive list,

but what we have got is of high quality both in story telling and illustration,

and that's down to Sam, Heather, me and everyone else who has shown

faith in Rockpool Children's Books and whose books

I will work diligently with until published....

'But we in it shall be remembered - We few, we happy few,

we band of brothers' ( actually sisters in this case )

...and if I'm now starting to quote Shakespeare

I think it's time I departed, stage left.

I hope you enjoy the work.
As we say,

'Great Stories, great pictures, great books!'

For 77 years children young and old have looked forward

to their Rupert Bear Annual on Christmas day.

I'd like to share the cover and endpapers

of the 78th annual

and wish you all a very Happy Christmas

wherever you are!

To highlight the quality

of illustration in our books,

Rockpool Children's Books will begin

posting our Portfolio Pages.

These will feature the book cover and choice

samples from within.

To begin....
