Amazing, engaging & interactive book @RealAlexWoolf Megan’s completely enthralled- great concept. Thoroughly recommend. We reserved & collected from @WGC_Central_Lib- it’s free for children to do this! A brilliant service to have. @OurLadySchWGC one for the school library?

God is always with us, even in our moments of sadness and fear. In Wherever You Are, bestselling author Glenys Nellist gently reminds kids (and adults, too!) that we are never alone in any of life’s moments.

God is there with us in the darkness and in the light. Wherever You Are is a comforting book to remind kids that no matter where you go, how you are feeling or what you do, God is with you.

I saw that many people are at a loss as to where to buy their cards/stationery now that #Paperchase has gone bust. If you're an indie designer-maker, perhaps you can add your link to this thread, to help those shoppers out?

Wherever you are, God is there. Wherever You Are is a gentle, reassuring picture book by bestselling author Glenys Nellist that encourages kids to notice God all around them in the ordinary places.

Of course a review for my upcoming title would be biased, but here's why my 5 stars go to the illustrator @sianjart.
Might you be good enough to add Wherever You Are to your bookshelves? Happy to reciprocate if you drop the link! @BeamingBooksMN #kidlit

Illustrators! Does anyone have any tips on painting shop windows? What tools do you recommend? Advice for planning and things to be careful about?
