My picturebook with illustrator Daniel Rieley, The Tale of a Toothbrush, features in the new exhibition at The Story Museum ‘Brilli-ANT!’  about how small creatures can make a big difference.

It was selected by a mix of young story curators, climate advisors & the museum team, as a story tackling ideas for climate action.

If you’re in Oxford, England, this summer so visit the museum. It’s magical.

Kryp

Kryp av M G Leonard är en mellanåldersbok som utspelar sig i nutid i England. Den handlar om Darkus som tvingas bo hos sin farbror Max som är professor i arkeologi. Darkus mamma är död och hans pappa, som är vetenskaplig chef för Naturhistoriska museet, har försvunnit när han studerat skalbaggar, utan ett spår och dessutom från ett låst rum.

Darkus är övertygad om att hans pappa blivit kidnappad och han får hjälp av sina nya vänner Virginia och Bertolt att leta efter honom.

Hos grannarna kryllar det av skalbaggar och en dag upptäcker Darkus att han kan prata med en av dem. Det blir början till ett fartfyllt och spännande men också roligt äventyr där vännerna söker efter Darkus pappa och samtidgit försöker rädda sina nya vänner skalbaggarna.

Kryp är den första boken i en trilogi om Darkus och de magiska skalbaggarna och deras äventyr. Jag rekommenderar varmt den här boken som är bra skriven med härligt driv och massor av spänning och humor. Fascinerande och lärorikt om insekter och jättebra för alla oss som inte är så förtjusta i insekter.

#stormhound #clarefayers @macmillankidsuk Storm of Odin is the youngest storm hound of the wild Hunt but on his first Hunt he can't keep up and falls to earth landing just outside Abergavenny. Twelve year old Jessica find and adopts a cute puppy and suddenly a lot of people are interested in them. And they know a lot about magic. This looks adorable and perfect for fans of #mgleonard #mazevans out Feb 2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/BrpnwkenRWO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8yg2x51emyss

I'm delighted to share the news that my new book The Ice Children is published in the UK on 2nd November in hardback featuring artwork by Penny Neville-Lee. It is available to pre-order now!

Exclusive editions are available from Waterstones and certain indie bookshops in the UK. Or order a standard copy from @bookshop_org_uk to support your local indie.

❄️ ‘As unforgettable as Hans Christian Andersen's 'The Snow Queen' . . . a whirlingly imaginative storyline full of wonder and hope as well as warning.’ – The Times ❄️

At the stroke of midnight on the dawn of December, five-year-old Finn Albedo is found frozen in the city park standing on a pedestal of ice. His heart is beating, he is smiling serenely, but no one can wake him.

Finn’s big sister, Bianca, suspects that the beautiful sparkling book Finn got from the library has something to do with it, but the book has vanished. Does the tall mysterious stranger who first discovered Finn know more than they will admit?

Each day, more children are found frozen and Bianca realizes she’s running out of time. Her quest to discover the truth and rescue her little brother hurls her into a fantastical winter wonderland, full of beauty and danger, where all is not as it seems.

Can Bianca save her brother and the other Ice Children before they are forever lost?

A wonderful afternoon at the Natural History Museum celebrating the wonderful new book BEETLES OF THE WORLD by renowned Coleopterists Max Barclay & Patrice Bouchard. I was delighted that, along with Kafka & Nabokov, I get a mention! 🤣💚🪲

To the teachers & beetle enthusiasts out there, you’re going to want this book.

This sculpture is one of my most prized possessions. The pedestal is a rare piece of ebony. The dung ball was turned by my father-in-law John Sparling - a renowned wood turner of Gloucestershire. He made me this piece as a gift for the launch of #BeetleBoy. The silver dung beetle was cast in his brother’s workshop. When the sun hits it in the morning it sets my work ethic for the day. For a story is rather like a dung ball, gathered from the waste of a greater animal, out of which hatches new life. I am the industrious dung beetle navigating by the Milky Way to bring my story home. #mgleonard #inspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/BtSvAd0HQMg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15g7bahvy99yq
