About
The rhyme for this came as I was finishing off the pictures for The Story of Growl. I was getting a bit bored with the task of colouring in all the pieces of fruit on Growl’s fruit trees, and the words ‘My feet take me places, inside outside different spaces’ came into my head. Along with the words came a picture of looking down at two feet, such a familiar view, and the rest of the book just flowed from there. A book of simple drawings for small children just discovering walking and running.
I also knew it was a major procrastination device – even though the deadline for the last of the Growl artwork was well and truly upon me, I couldn’t resist abandoning it for a little while to work on what became These are my Feet. I spent the rest of that day trying to think of every possible ‘aces’ rhyme, to arrange into the story. The text didn’t change very much from that first version.
