I bought myself a new notebook for scribbling down inspiration for a middle grade book I am writing. It feels very decadent to use a notebook like this for scribbles! Hoping the dragon will "ignite" lots of ideas 🙂

Names carry stories, meaning, and power. My children's book My Name Is a Gift celebrates the beauty and importance of names—how they connect us to who we are and where we come from. 🌟 What's the story behind your name? #Writing #Picturebook

It was so special to see My Name is a Gift being read on Channel 5's Milkshake Story Den! Wonderful to see Åsa Gilland's beautiful illustrations on a big screen! Templar Books Asa Gilland
