Unfortunately, I feel climate change feels a lot closer than it did 10 years ago. The Journey Home ends with hope – that tomorrow could bring a brighter day, a better future, but did you imagine when you wrote the book that the messages in the book would still be so pertinent 10 years on? I was really glad to have had the opportunity to mark the occasion of 10 years as an author with this lovely anniversary edition of my first book and it’s helped me reflect on just what an amazing decade it has been! The nature of the job means when a book is published, you are often already working on something that will publish a year or so later, which can lead to a loss of perspective. It can often be hard, as an author, to appreciate how much has been accomplished. How does it feel to be celebrating 10 years as a published author and illustrator?! In this special interview for NSSM, Frann reflects on her publishing journey so far and explains why The Journey Home is a perfect fit for NSSM and our current times. Her debut picture book, The Journey Home, was published 10 years ago and the messages within remain as important today as they were a decade ago. She has written many of her own books and illustrated works for many other authors across various publishers. Frann Preston-Gannon is one of the best known and best-loved authors and illustrators working in children’s books.
