Last week we had a very small demigod causing chaos in Chorley. He’s strong! He’s the size of a jam jar! He’s Tiny Hercules, the world’s tiniest hero.
Thanks to and for visiting schools with us, teaching us all how to draw our own TH, making us laugh and for signing all the books. It was a day full of joy!

Tiny Hercules is a deserving Indie Book of the Month and we have signed copies in the bookshop!

Is it really a whole week since children’s book legend visited Bolton and Preston schools with us?!
Thanks go to Rob ❤️ and to for bringing him up North 🥳!
It was a fantastic day, filled with werewolves, singing, chatting, drawing (even by me), a school dog and ending with not a dry eye in the house 😢

We’ve signed copies of The Last Wolf in the bookshop for half term reading too!
