My First Friend our Polly!

Great books only come from a source of Love & Joy. When I began my new journey into the world of Children’s illustration I never thought for a minute that the simple love for our new addition to the family ‘Our Polly’ would make such an impact with my first book ‘My First Friend’.

This month we hit a high with a total of 973 copies of ‘My First Friend’ being sold Worldwide from U.SA, Germany, Japan, Canada, India, the Netherlands to Australia. And most successfully our sales in over 45 U.S.A States.

This little book inpired a beautiful e-mail requesting permission from a School Principle in the U.S. to read ‘My First Friend’ to their children as they studied from home during the COVID pandemic. It remains my favourite book creation knowing that our family dog Polly has brought so much love and affection as her book is shared with so many wee ones through out the world. This month I have decided to give ‘My First Friend’ a little facelift and tidy for my readers in 2026.
