I've been working sooo hard with Milo and Govi to make our super-erupting volcano for the school science fair. The books are fun and entertaining but also encourage critical thinking and highlight STEM subjects, which is a bonus.

This next book in the series is filled to the brim with the lovely, gentle humour that Serena Patel is know for and is oh so good at.

It's supposed to be the WEDDING OF THE YEAR but it's tomorrow and it's looking like a "first-class disaster! Except, Granny Jas has turned up as a surprise chaperone, and she won't stop showing everyone my embarrassing baby photos. You can feel the effort that has gone into making the story engaging and the 'twists and turns' of the story leave you wondering what will happen next.

I've since illustrated many titles for a wide variety of publishers and clients including Ladybird, Oxford University Press, Girlguiding, Bear Grylls Ventures, and Usborne. And, as it's nearly DIWALI, Granny Jas is cooking non-stop, and Auntie Bindi is determined to BRING THE BLING. The humour is deft, the dialogue great and Anisha’s multi-generational British Indian family is an inclusive and wonderful world to escape into.That's Yasmine by the way, Milo says he can talk to animals, and she's not so happy about the situation either. I’ve just found a ransom note, pushed through the letter box, saying Uncle Tony, Bindi’s husband-to-be, has been kidnapped, and will only be freed if the wedding is cancelled!
