Happy Birthday Anthea
It was my gran's 80th birthday on Wednesday, so we had a big family get together today, 25 or so family members, from Anthea (80 years) to Lily Peach (21 months). My cousin Charlie made a cake with 80 candles... here's the video of them....

Christianity Today Reviews Jesus Storybook Bible
Christianity Today Magazine have reviewed The Jesus Storybook Bible and they love it! They say nice things about my illustrations too, here's an excerpt: Jago's award-winning cover art is a foretaste of the whimsically insightful and richly colored drawings that await you on every one of the book's 351 pages. The illustrations alone are worth the price of the book. Did you ever wonder what Jacob's face looked like the morning after his wedding night, when he woke up in bed with a different woman than the one he thought he had married — Leah instead of Rachel? Jago did, and what he imagined and drew made me laugh out loud. Jago the illustrator, and Sally Lloyd-Jones the author, are a good pair.....
The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name disproves the adage that you can't judge a book by its cover.
