Transport page from the Gujarati English zine I made Theo - a lot of transport words are just the English words when I checked with my mum but had to include all the wheels! Also featured, the 68 bus and a Southern train. #illustration #zines #learninglanguages

A few people have asked for a copy after seeing this 'Gujarati, English and a bit of Swahili' zine I made Theo, so I've printed a batch. 20 pages, over 120 illustrations - available here - www.etsy.com/uk/listing/4...

Managed to fit a few places and things into Theo's Gujarati English zine -including an illustration of Eastbourne beach on this 'sea' themed page

Flexing that food illustration muscle for this double page for Theo's Gujarati/English zine (including Swahili - dizzy/ndizi for banana)

Animals from Theo's Gujarati/English zine #illustration #zines

I've made Theo a zine! Gujarati, English and a bit of Swahili - 120 plus illustrations and words on animals, food, the home and garden, the sky and sea and more! I couldn't find something like this, so I made it. Thanks to my mum with helping with all the phonetics!

Loved this! 2 incredible heroes who turn what we know on its head. Impossible to put down 🐲🧚‍♂️🗡🐴🌳. Thanks @barbaraevav.bsky.social for this 💚 @poetclare.bsky.social @reenamakwana.bsky.social @readingrocks.bsky.social @thereaderteacher.bsky.social @openuni-rfp.bsky.social

I'm a few days late on this but RIP Val Kilmer - I made a zine on his films ten years ago, the original made for Jack

Great to sign books at The Bound yesterday. See @reenamakwana.bsky.social lovely cover! North Tyneside folk - do your duty. I still have ink & I’ve almost got the spelling right. Thanks to Adele, Emma and the staff at this coastal gem. #kidlit @forumbooks.bsky.social @theemmapress.bsky.social

"'Rob Walton's book is a riotous collection of stories where footnotes argue, logic unravels & crisp packets cause dilemmas. Great for fans of Horrible Histories and Terry Pratchett... 🎉 " ~ @mattobin.bsky.social Buy 'Please Don't Read the Footnotes Please' by Rob Walton here: buff.ly/cXsMe8n

Happy publication day @robwaltonwriter.bsky.social!! 'Please Don't Read The Footnotes Please' is available from @theemmapress.bsky.social and your local bookshop. I loved illustrating these fun short stories! theemmapress.com/shop/childre...

Please Don't Read The Footnotes Please by @robwaltonwriter.bsky.social and illustrated by @reenamakwana.bsky.social is a wonderfully chaotic and anarchic collection of short stories, interspersed with Rob's random (and hilarious) musings in the footnotes. Published by @theemmapress.bsky.social.

Pre-orders help the publisher - @theemmapress.bsky.social - and maybe even the strange author bloke. Link in my bio (possibly).

Delighted to get my mucky paws on this early copy of @robwaltonwriter.bsky.social’s first collection of short stories, ponderings and general slantwise looks at life from deep down where the footnotes dwell. Totally original and entertaining, & out in a month from @theemmapress.bsky.social #kidlituk
