I've been experimenting with Kindle Kids' Book Creator. Huge thanks to my son Reuben for the idea and the illustrations, which he created using Scratch. If you have Kindle Unlimited, please have a look at the book and let me know what you think!

Had a great time in Montrose today. Supported Angus Book Fest at the coffee morning, then went to see the new premises for Ink and Quill in Montrose. Enjoyed going through the Narnia-style doors to get to the children's section of the bookshop.
