I went to Bologna with other Good Ship students and it was magical! I'd been there three times a decade before, but it is a completely different thing to go with a bunch of mates and have a million adventures!
We heard some interesting things and advice from publishers and agents. We showed our illustrations and got lots of positive feedback, from big publishers too!
We met you and Katie and got our badges and stickers.
Whenever we said that we were the Good Ship students we heard: "They are the best, don't go with anyone else!" 😊
Oooh, I read about you decorating your family room, arranging books and then I see tiny friends poking their heads out of the windows of your doll house, giving you a wave and wondering what Helen is up to now… sorry, my imagination is taking off. Loved this post and your wonderful Bologna pictures. Have a wonderful weekend!
Lovely to hear of your adventures in Bologna . My bookshelf is height and though kids books have a shelf of their own ….then there is a bit at the back of the books when if someone is coming and you have to tidy quickly , you jam stuff behind the books fast and that’s how I lost my headphones for a month.

i am still swooning over your excellent illustrator glasses. 10/10 eye wear
Agreed excellent eye wear
I arrange my bookshelves as a floor collage (courtesy of my son 🤣)
Darn! We just built shelves. We could have saved ourselves a big job if we had know about floor collages!
Oh no! Well it’s only for the most sophisticated-looking houses don’t you know 🤣
Old-lady-baby i luv you 🤣🤣❤️
It’s always fun when she makes an appearance 😂
I would love to visit the Bologna book fair - I’m not an illustrator, but just the creativity looks spectacular! 😍
The creativity at the Bologna Book Fair is through the roof! You should visit!
Bologna looks amazing, excellent book choice. Your book shelves are also looking very lovely, looks like Pie managed to make you not an old
lady baby there ☺️
Oh yes! That is very skilful 😂
I love every bit of this! And the vintage tv screensaver is genius.
What beautiful Bologna book finds! Thanks for sharing them - I’ve been down a Google hole exploring those illustrators now, so exciting!
Also, your retro tv screen saver is genius!

Fantastic Bologna pictures. The flags were brilliant!
