Granny’s Big Secret






Granny’s Big Secret is the first book in a series entitled Magical Island Adventures written by the wonderfully talented Katie Pavey.
I started working on this tale in the 2020 Lockdown after the text had been edited, so we (author, editor and illustrator) all knew what illustrations were wanted and where in the story they would be placed. I spent many days of summer in our local woodlands and meadow making studies of the plants that would build up the backgrounds. The drawings all came together around mid-Autumn, all 127 parts layered and adjusted to represent how I imagined the story following the author Katie’s guidance.
To complete the book, it was an absolute joy to work closely with editor and literary consultant Claire Wingfield and Katie brining everything together. From creating the final cover image and Katie’s publishing logo to developing further images for social media and marketing plus tweaking illustrations to suit the publication guidelines, it has been a magical journey.
You can add this tale to your bookshelf and purchase a copy via Amazon.
