The Story of Growl was launched at the old Books Illustrated with aplomb by the wonderful Julie McCrossin, who got everyone growling. Not just the kids, that’s too easy, but the adults as well. Because afternoon tea features so strongly in the book, I made hundreds of cupcakes for us to eat, iced in different colours. The little monster Growl is actually a fruitarian, but her neighbours are very fond of something sweet.
The photos are Julie reading Growl, some Horacek cupcakes, and the entrance to the Gasworks Park and Books Illustrated, on the day of the launch.
