Having written and/or illustrated more than 300 books, visited hundreds of schools, and shared drawing with millions of people online, I have returned to my roots.

These days I use drawing to tell stories about my life and experiences on YouTube.

You can join my newsletter to keep in touch with what I’m up to, or simply send me a message using the contact form below.

I read every message and, although I can’t always reply immediately, I genuinely enjoy hearing from people who are curious about the world.
