I haven't been active for a couple of years now, I don't think. But yes, thank you! Thank youuuu. I will, but you found out my next one's coming out in the States before I actually knew, haha. OMG. I definitely need to buy you two a few beers next time I see you. Ahhh! Hope they like it. (and that your cast-off goes ok :x)

Apparently there was an older book out in the States with a similar name (Say Hi to A Hedgehog or something), so the publisher had to go with a different one over there. There are a couple of other minor changes to the text too (e.g. over here the hedgehog has to weigh the same as a football before hibernating, in the US text it's a basketball) but I got to check it over before it went ahead. One positive thing - the US version has a dustjacket on the cover, with an author bio on the flap and everything. (*cough* it should also now - or soon - have a silver seal on it, because it won a Ezra Jack Keats Illustrator Honor recently ?) 1. Hi! 2. That's awesome, thank you! I'm so genuinely stoked that he likes it. I heard a little boy in a waiting room the other day randomly talking about slugs and it put me in mind of Betty telling me that Milo went through saying which bugs were nice and which ones were mean. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ I missed you and your sunshineyness! Amazon purchase is way better than no purchase - and positive Amazon review is mega helpful*. Really hope Luna likes it too - never too early for books! *(for those who don't know, algorithms mean that the more ratings a book gets on Amazon - even if you haven't bought it there - the more likely it is to come up in search results and stuff. So even if you don't want to buy the book, please give it a nice rating and a "I love hedgehogs" comment or something Thanks to all of you who have done so far )

Helloooo! Gah!! That's too wonderful. Hearing about kids liking the book is the best.

...is the name of my picture book if you live in the UK or Australia. In North America, it's called Prickly Hedgehogs! ...both are available online and in all good bookstores. Say hi to me, too!
