Exciting visitor: Catriona Hoy on tour
Catriona Hoy is about to launch her brand new picture book George and Ghost. To celebrate and publicise her latest book baby, she’ll be touring the blogosphere from Monday 7th March ’til Monday 14th March. I’m excited she’ll be visiting me at my blog From Hook to Book on Saturday 12th March to talk all about George and Ghost, picture books, and publication – both here and overseas. Stop by on the 12th and meet the delightful Catriona, and be sure to drop in on her other stops too, where she’ll be sharing lots of insights into the writing and publishing of George and Ghost and talking all things picture books.
George and Ghost are friends, but George isn’t sure he believes in Ghost anymore. How will Ghost prove to George that he is real.
“This heartwarming book explores the up and down emotions of childhood friendship – whether real or make-believe.”
