Seven years later, my first book is done: a HUGE thank you for all the SVS support (I’ll miss you, SVS forum!)

By the way, I’m in the process of making a video documenting the process of designing and painting the cover of this book. If you’d like to see it when it’s done, please private message me before Dec. 31 (when this forum becomes private) with your email address and I’ll send you a link when it’s finished.

Congratulations! Your paintings are really beautiful and the images very memorable. As soon as I saw these pages, I remembered the work you posted and the conversations about it, and I'm so glad that you have finally brought this project to fruition. The film sounds so exciting and a real bonus to what you have already managed to accomplish. Great news!

@KathrynAdebayo
Kathryn,
This was such a wonderful post to read. Thanks so much for sharing it and your truly beautiful illustrations. I particularly loved the one of the boy lying on his front with the ladybird on his finger. So lovely! You're so blessed to be able to produce work on this topic.
It was good to hear what you said. Especially your comment "there are plenty of things I would do differently now than I did when each painting was created". That made me smile to myself. I'm sure we've all been there!
It was really special that you took the time to list all the people who helped you too.
I wish you all the very best for the book.
