Fifteen Things Not To Do With A Baby got a rave review from the UK magazine 'Books for Keeps', so wee Holly Sterling's illustrations are getting well-deserved admiration. I say 'wee Holly' - she looks as if she'd blow away in a high wind, but in fact she wins top level karate competitions. Respect where it's due!
So here are Fifteen Things Not To Do With a Lady Author -
Tell her to get up in the morning
Hide her pens
Tell her you've never read her books but (Other Author) is really really good...
Rearrange her desk
Ask her to right a stunning, exciting, funny, fifty thousand word book by the middle of next week
Sing loudly and out of tune
Steal her radio at crucial moments
Give her decaff coffee
Deprive her of chocolate
Send her spam e-mails offering lovely holidays that she can't afford
Make disparaging and uncalled for remarks about teddy bears
Feed her on mushy peas
Fill in the crossword before she can get to it
Expect her to be able to count up to fifteen
