We are so excited to announce the launch of ‘Have You Eaten, Keaton?’ (amazon.co.uk/Have-You-Eaten-Keaton-Tony/dp/191634593X). Can mum's cooking tempt Keaton away from his obsession with electronic devices, or will he end up paying the ultimate price? A fun, rhyming story exploring modern-day distractions and parental exasperation.

Have You Eaten, Keaton?

So pleased with the initial sketches received from Darya for our next title 'Have you eaten, Keaton?'

For youngsters who love animals and rhyming picture books, we would like to introduce 'Merren and the Heron', our first book as an indie author/publisher which has received so many lovely reviews.

Check out the FREE reading at the Daft Dad YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxPXxC5ktUr0qer6uCkpcJw) and if you enjoy it, the title is available in three formats via Amazon (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Merren-Heron-Tony-Dow/dp/1916345905) so would make a fantastic stocking filler for your little person.

A school trip to the zoo starts with a fun rhyming challenge that soon leads to a different case needing to be solved. Merren has wandered off and becomes separated from her friends however all ends well, with a proud announcement of her own.

We are pleased to confirm that the artwork and content is now complete, so hoping to launch Merren and the Heron by the end of the year.

‪Greetings all! Unsurprisingly, our planned spring launch for ‘Merren and the Heron’ is likely to be delayed until later in the year. Stay safe everyone!

So, the London Book Fair (and our tour of the IngramSpark facilities at MK) has now been cancelled due to the COVID-19 Coronavirus. Best turn our attention, instead, to these typography decisions around serif/sans, single/double-story allographs and gadzooks!

With so many fantastic children's picture books out there, what is YOUR favourite and why?
