When I was illustrating The Adventures of Cedric the Bear I did lots of drawings showing different facial expressions.
This is a great drawing exercise. The easiest way to do it is to draw a series of simple faces, like a cat’s face.Then choose five different expressions to draw on the faces. They could be: ‘Happy’ ‘Sad’ ‘surprised’ ‘Worried’ ‘Laughing’. Sometimes I make faces at myself in the mirror to get the right expression! Or you could ask someone else to make the face and then see what happens to their eyes and their mouth and very importantly to their eyebrows….
Have fun!

We had some amazing entries for our Colour Cedric colouring competition. The children who entered were all between the ages of 6 and 10 years old. They all put a lot of effort in to their entries.
Anne Bowes kindly judged the competition. You can see all the entries, including the winning one by Cotty, here.
We had great news from our publisher Liesbeth of Amsterdam Publishers, confirming that the American Book Center in Amsterdam has agreed to stock our book, the Adventures of Cedric the Bear, both in the store and online! If you are lucky enough to be visiting wonderful Amsterdam do drop in at this fabulous bookshop.
I had such an enjoyable evening reading an extract from our book at this virtual open-mic night in Amsterdam. Hosted by Luke, with a variety of readers from around the world. Am looking forward to visiting the real bookshop one day soon!
