Hello Again

It's been five years since I posted here. FIVE YEARS!! I've been mostly busy dreaming, and mothering, and writing... and posting a little on Facebook. I've written a lot of new books in these five years -

Three new Anna Hibiscus books complete the amazing 8 book series. Go Well Anna Hibiscus & Love from Anna Hibiscus & You're Amazing Anna Hibiscus (in that order).

I am so proud of these books, of their depth and their kindness. I can't quite believe that I wrote them.

​The New York Times commented in January - "This joyful series... is a revelation."

The No.1 Car Spotter series is now complete as well - with 3 new books out in the UK -

The No.1 Car Spotter Goes to School
The No.1 Car Spotter Fights the Factory

I'm proud of this series too. It's unique. Creating the voice of an uneducated clever boy who is so-called under privileged is so important to me. And to others as well, it seems, because the books have won awards such as "Notable Books for a Global Society" and "The Africana Notable Book Award".

Another two stunning picture books "Splash Anna Hibiscus!" and "Double Trouble for Anna Hibiscus" have come out in the last five years. 
Lauren Tobia's illustrations just get more and more joyful and bright and alive. Don't you think?

And last but not least, I've a brand new picture book called "Baby Goes To Market". It has new characters, and a new illustrator whose work is stunning.

"Baby Goes To Market" has been winning awards in the US - I'm so proud of it. It's out in the UK as well, and in French and Japanese. So look out for it wherever you go! 

So you can see that I've been pretty busy, while I've been silent here. I hope that you've been delighted - or will be delighted - with what I have been doing!

    All my books are set in Africa. And all the stories I tell as an oral storyteller originate in Africa too. There my roots go deep into the rich soil.
