As a young woman I was not very maternal, and intended not to have children. My first pregnancy was entirely unplanned. My books have largely been a celebration and savoring of the positive experience of parenthood I had not anticipated-the fun, warmth, and love. Designing picture books for young children, I am aware that such books are almost always shared by the child and a caring adult. I find the challenge of communicating with both child and adult-working on two levels in one book--a demanding, intriguing and rewarding task. I design picture books for children and adults because I depend on the adult to create the right atmosphere and help children read them. When this happens, it is a time for physical closeness and comfort, a quiet time for sharing ideas and feelings, for laughing and learning together. Anyone who takes time to share books with young children is rewarded and revitalized by the experience every time.

The “skin” helps create that hardened shell that’s iconic of the macaron. Also, without proper “skin” development, when baking, the heat will escape from the top rather than from the bottom which creates the other iconic feature of the macaron — the “feet”. Although possible, it would be rather difficult to bake macarons in a humid environment. Humidity is macaron’s enemy. If the environment is humid, it can affect the resting stage, resulting in no “skin” and therefore no hardened shell of the macaron when baked. Humidity can even affect the moisture in the meringue so it might be hard to whip super-stiff egg whites. With the mixer running, gradually add the granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons at a time, and beat until the meringue is stiff and shiny. Once all the sugar has been added, whip for 2 minutes more or until stiff peaks. With bustling pen-and-inks and an energetic, sometimes tongue-twisting text, Ormerod (The Frog Prince) follows three families through a whirlwind week as they intermingle continually--and Continue reading »I went to art school at a time when the practice of drawing was regarded as the underpinning of all activity in the visual arts'coming to know' by looking closely and recording honestly.

Mum to Roux 3G - Amazing incentive! Readers are leaders and I’m so proud my son is a literacy champion! Well done to you all :) On Wednesday 7th November, The Junior literacy Team led an assembly for KS1. We recommended books we like to read when were younger. Dejunet’s favourite book was ‘Eat Up Gemma!’ by Sarah Huges, which Miss Fergus loved when she was younger too! Kai, leader of the JLT, read a funny extract from his favourite book, ‘The Twists’ by Roald Dahl. The books the Junior Literacy Team recommended include: Gemma far prefers mashing, throwing, and sharing her food to eat it. The entire family keeps encouraging Gemma to eat up, but the dogs and birds just get more and more of her food. Then one day in church, Gemma is inspired to eat the fruit off of the hat of the lady in front of her. Her brother has an idea - will a plate of fruit dressed up like a hat finally get Gemma to eat?
