The important role of yoga in living well with MS
I live in New York now, all four years of my time here residing in Manhattan's east village. My average day is very simple really. I like to be at my desk by 9am. It's a 25 minute cycle to my studio in Brooklyn. I check my emails with a cup of tea first thing and then I start to draw in my sketchbooks. I draw until it's time to cycle home for my dinner.
I have been working with fair trade for the last ten years, before i began writing books. I began as a volunteer with a Fair Trade company called People Tree and I was very inspired by the work that they do.
I was designing toys and t-shirts and other things with them. Later after the publication of my books it seemed obvious to do some fair trade projects with the characters from them. Since the launch of A BIT LOST I spent more than 10 months living in Nepal and India to work together with Fair Trade projects and create toys made by women's shelters.
I had an amazing time traveling and living there and actually wrote Oh No George, my second book there during that time too.

Here at MS Ireland, we have been very excited about our brand new fundraising campaign and the good news is the wait is finally over… McVitie’s Cookies That Care is HERE!
As you know, we at MS Ireland are incredibly excited about McVitie’s Cookies That Care but we are also over the moon about having our fantastic new partners, McVitie’s and our lovely ambassador, Clodagh McKenna, on board for the campaign. They both love this campaign as much as we do and are really happy that we finally get to share it with everyone.
Our friends over at McVitie’s have given us a big hamper, full to the brim with McVitie’s goodies but unfortunately for us here at Cookies HQ we can’t keep it so instead we’re offering you all the chance to win this delicious prize.
