I am thrilled to announce the final results from the 2025 Wishing Shelf Book Awards in London. This international competition, judged by children and educators, has recognized two of my latest collaborations:

? BRONZE MEDAL WINNER
"Monkey See, Monkey Do. Monkey Can Do It, Can You?"
Written by Harriet Cobb (Category: Pre-school picture books)
This project explores a stylized and fluid watercolor technique designed to engage early childhood readers through rhythm and movement.

✨ FINALIST
"Sidney's Games"
Written by Lolisa Marie Monroe (Category: Books for 6-8 year olds)
A character-driven narrative focusing on vibrant visual metaphors and emotional storytelling.

A heartfelt thank you to my wonderful authors, Harriet and Lolisa, for their trust and for inviting me into these creative worlds. It is an honor to see our work resonate with young readers and teachers across the UK!
