We are all getting pretty excited now, Stephanie's book "The Story of the Toothfairy - as it has never EVER been told" is at the printers!
Let's step back a little:
We had months of fun and games: writing, rhyming, reading aloud and reading again before we handed the text to local illustrator, Erin Casey, to work her magic. The resulting water colours are just incredible. The vivid colours, the expressions on the children's faces, the sway of the fairy and her amazing blonde hair (now who does that remind us of?) - what more could we have asked for!
Next was the layout, which words where, how many per page, what size font - which font? So many decisions but so, so much fun!
The cover - which of the glorious water colours was to represent the whole book, what would be most eye catching, most suitable, leaving enough room for the text of the title itself? Then the title, like most books we changed from the 'working title' to what we have now - but there were many versions in between...
Off it all went to our graphic designer, Kasia who did the layout for us - superb job Kasia.
So, now we wait - not quietly of course, there is so much to do!
We have a launch to organise - on the 13th August - more details on that soon.
Visits to schools, interviews with journalists and more fun to be had than anyone can possibly imagine!
