It is almost the way I work on my projects. :) <br />Her books sound wonderful.

I’ve got quite a few contemporary children’s books on my shelves. Sometimes I just can’t resist them but at other times I buy them for our grandchildren and then don’t want to part with them so have to another copy for me! It’s the same with sticker books. I've just sent a couple out to Adelaide, but I so wanted to keep them! I don’t think I will ever grow up when it comes to books.<br />Thank you Julie for always offering your love and support, it is truly appreciated. Barbara. <br />Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962552429792516213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-57759305540226798652016-03-03T01:14:18.602+00:002016-03-03T01:14:18.602+00:00Hello again from hot and steamy North Qld in Austr...Hello again from hot and steamy North Qld in Australia! I now find that I am going to have to find these wonderful book treasures,and I am certain I shall enjoy every word all the more for having read this wonderful post! There are SO many fantabulous books out there for children,but when my son hit adulthood,I just rarely bought any more of the contemporary ones, as I resumed my lifelong hobby of collecting the old and antique ones!! Very remiss of me,I know,but I promise to correct my ways!!I do still have every book I have ever been given,or that I have ever bought,so SOME of these are not the really old variety!!<br />Anyway,I am now very keen to discover Whimsy Wood and all its inhabitants as soon as possible!!! I know it shall be a most enjoyable journey for me. As I have myself been lucky enough to write Guest Posts,for this Blog,it is even more delightful for me to see a post such as this which really lets me get to know about Sarah and her works. Thank you Barbara,again for your generosity of spirit!!<br />Cheerful smiles as always, Jules in Oz!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03152576015579792168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-11258483146889358782016-02-22T14:28:53.634+00:002016-02-22T14:28:53.634+00:00Hello Stephanie, I’m sure you will enjoy them.

But it's not the same one. Big congratulations to THIS Sarah Hill on her enchanting books - I know just how difficult it is to get a publishing deal.<br /><br />I love the idea of using the seasons of the year as a framework, and the hidden proverb. I loved the 'What to look for in Spring/Summer/Autumn/Winter' Ladybird books as a child and think that the changing flora and fauna of the woods throughout the year is a super idea as a backdrop to the stories.<br /><br />As well as the influences that Sarah mentions, I think there is a touch of 'Flower Fairies' and 'Pookie' there too!

I'm a fan of the Faraway Tree series and have read (and enjoyed tremendously) the Brambly Hedge books. They are classy and so much fun. Sometimes a story just wouldn't let us be and it has to be written out. Now imagine writing 35 of them. Congratulations to Sarah for having done that (and still keeping on)!Yanting Guehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04788603550626277974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-38572565954097527412016-02-19T00:15:19.904+00:002016-02-19T00:15:19.904+00:00Fun interview.
