New Book: The Bear In My Bed by Joyce Wan
I’m excited to announce the launch of The Bear In My Bed, written and illustrated by me and published by FSG/Macmillan.

The samples just arrived on my doorstep over the weekend and even holding the box set in my hand, a collection of board books that I've published over the last 7 years, it stil...
