✿ A picture book from Japan ✿ On our trip to ✿ A picture book from Japan ✿

On our trip to Tokyo last year, we stumbled upon the most atmospheric bookshop while exploring the neighbourhood of Kurumae. Think a mix of vintage, foreign and Japanese picture books in one cute and small shop, with illustration exhibitions on the walls! ☆

I had to find the perfect Japanese picture book to take home. Enter: Come to Our Town, by Yosuke Omomo. A few pics of this adorable tale of a town run by animals - in love with these illustrations, the colours, style, cuteness and imaginary scenarios! Also a few pics of the bookshop inside and out, which was a dream find in a favourite area of Tokyo. ☆

I feature this PB in my most recent Substack newsletter, Lemongrass Letters. Link in bio if you'd like to subscribe (all-age books, travel, food and other assorted rambles!). ☆

A whirlwind weekend at @kidlitvic 🤎 So good to A whirlwind weekend at @kidlitvic 🤎 So good to meet and reconnect with lots of authors, illustrators and publishers in one place, in real life! There were many things to learn, manuscript feedback to take on board and current industry insights, but it was also all about the people!!

A few snapshots of the gorgeous humans I spent time with (plus a few more before and after), but there were many more too! Thank you team KidLitVic for an epic conference and all the hard work behind the scenes, you are the best! 🫶🏼

When I first heard of The Letter Writer I was captivated by the title alone, let alone the illustrations, and actual story! You know when you *just know* you'll love a book?! Even the characters' names are cute, Juniper and Jasper. 💕

Such a fun book party to see this released into the world with lots of lovely bookish people! 📝📮💛
