Due to unforeseen circumstances (the Little Button only went and broke her leg!), I can’t be there, as originally advertised on the 14th February #sadface. But, my picture book Me, in the Middle IS there as we speak! – Thank you Samantha, it’s an absolute honor to have it in your collection!

Me in the Middle by Annette Demetriou, Angela Mayers and Published by Owlet Press

Have an amazing day out! You’re going to love it.

Pin me for later 😉
