To help a bookseller open a physical bookshop in my hometown of Swindon I am offering a really unique opportunity for a child to appear as a drawn character in one of my forthcoming picture books. Whoever buys this Crowdfunder reward will also receive illustrations of the child, along with a signed copy including a hand-written dedication to the child. They will also receive an exclusive die-cut Bert's Books pin badge plus 15% off all titles in your next purchase on bertsbooks.co.uk (excluding sale items and subscriptions).

There are other rewards up for grabs, too! Check out Bert’s Bookshop Crowdfunder page: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/bertsbooks

Below are some illustrations of some of the children I’ve featured in picture books.
