This is what it's all about: Kate Bodell Books! I think it's very important to be silly. I think it's very important to have a giggle, even when the going gets tough. The world can be a serious old place sometimes, let my books bring a little bit of colour and joy into your corner.
Bumbelinda is my latest picture, currently available to buy on Amazon. It’s the story of a fairy, albeit a rather reluctant one. In fact, she is a titchy, tetchy mess and being kind is the last thing on her mind when she is discovered by a little girl and all round fairy fan. This is a funny, funky fairy tale about friendship, following dreams and foul smells. Safe to say this picture book has as much fart as it does heart!
That funny, funky fairy, me and The Rubber of Doom, who always seems to be trying to destroy our drawings!
The Blanket Book
The Blanket Book is here: time to wrap yourself up in a wee bit of cosy comfort. This book is for anyone having a maudlin moment, a down day or a terribly troubling time. I wrote these poems during lockdown when our lives and everything we knew, changed drastically. To keep my head above water, very often I found myself going back to the simple things in life, things which really do make a huge difference to mental well being.
In many ways, Flipkin was very good at being a penguin. There was only one thing. Quite a tricky thing for a penguin. Flipkin was afraid of water. A new Kate Bodell picture book coming soon: for anyone who has ever had a wobble about trying something new.
