Dawn Cooper, A Magical Guide to Plants

It was a perfect match when Dawn Cooper was asked to illustrate this fascinating book, A Magical Guide to Plants, by Sandra Lawrence. A topic Dawn is interested in herself, she really enjoyed using her exquisite illustrations to bring this to life, along with Sophie Gordon and the team at Hachette Children’s. The book is partnered with Kew Gardens and available to purchase now!

Take a journey as the apprentice of eminent botanical witch, Madame Voltare, through plant folklore, spell recipes and enchanting rituals as you learn all about the magical qualities of plants.

DOTTY SUTTON RETURNS WITH THE NOTWITCHES: PRISON BREAK!

Dotty Sutton conjures up a riot of mischief in The Notwitches: Prison Break, the uproarious second instalment of Gary Panton’s middle-grade series from Chicken House Books.

Melanda Notwitch is back and this time she’s setting out to break herself in to prison in order to break her parents out. Dotty’s whimsical black-and-white artwork captures every absurd moment beautifully - from goblin roommates who hate mornings to nearly-talking cats. The result? A gloriously absurd romp bursting with heart, humour, and visual mischief.

“Gary has done it again. A new cast of fabulously silly characters. I had just as much fun as book 1 bringing these hilarious villains to life… I can't wait for kids to meet the Governess and have a good giggle!” — Dotty Sutton.

From the wonderful cover to the final vignette, The Notwitches: Prison Break is brought joyfully to life by Dotty's fun-filled imagery.
