I’m really excited to be able to reveal for you today, the cover of the lovely and talented Andy Shepherd’s debut novel ‘The Boy Who Grew Dragons’, which will be published in Summer 2018 by Piccadily Press.
So without further ado here it is…….
This stunning cover is Illustrated by the award-winning Sara Ogilvie, one of my most favourite illustrators I’m a huge fan of her picture books. For me it hints at the magic, warmth and wonder that lies underneath this cover. ‘The Boy Who Grew Dragons’* will feature illustrations throughout the book from Sara, which is lovely news as I absolutely love illustrated fiction.
This three-book illustrated fiction series for 7-9 year olds, ‘The Boy Who Grew Dragons’, ‘The Boy Who Lived With Dragons’ and ‘The Boy Who Flew With Dragons’ will be published in 2018 and 2019. It follows Tomas, a young boy who discovers dragons growing at the bottom of his grandfather’s garden.

Thank you to Andy and Piccadily Press for inviting me to host the cover reveal, I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of ‘The Boy Who Grew Dragons’.
