Alice McKinley

Who doesn’t love a book about squabbling frogs!? Described as 'fabulously funny' this delightful picture book This Rock Is Mine! by author Kaye Umansky is out now with Alison Green Books.

Alice's illustrations bring warmth and humour to this brilliant rhyming story about two frogs who simply DO NOT want to share their rock. Can they overcome a common foe and become friends? You'll have to buy a copy to find out...

It's been a busy month for Alice, as Wish by Jack Ryder, with cover illustration by Alice, has also hit the shelves. A mystery of mermaids and magical coins, this is the third fiction the pair have been paired together on. Published with Hachette.

Coralie Muce

More fiction for Coralie, who has illustrated the cover of The House Trap by Emma Read. A mysterious mansion and a century-old disappearance to solve? Grab a copy now, published with Chicken House.

Moera

We love these colourful and bold new scenes from our newest signing Moera!
