HELP spread the love! Max & I have a new book out... but I haven't shared much. I didn't realise why I felt down. Of course not everyone will agree on these books, but they ARE still needed. It's just about book about LOVE & COMMUNITY. Please let's showcase our pride books. xx

Plopping onto bookshelves today…. ‘This Book is Full of Poop’ Poop is EVERYWHERE. It’s on the street, at the zoo, and even in the sea. So next time you’re out walking make sure to check under your feet!
