Last week saw World Book Day arrive once more, a day celebrating stories, storytelling and bringing an opportunity to dress up as favourite book characters.
Here's Em dressed as Isa from Kiran Millwood Hargrave’s The Girl of Ink and Stars (or The Cartographer's Daughter in the US). Isa is on an important quest, disguised in her brothers clothes, guided by her glowing woodlight with her fathers hand painted map in hand.
Each year I cajole Em into posing for photos, she really is the most reluctant model. But it's definitely worth the effort as collectively they tell the wonderful story of her as she grows and her developing input into the costuming.
