Countdown to Christmas: Jude Evans of Little Tiger Press


Merry Christmas, everyone! I’m publisher of Little Tiger Press, which specialises in picture books and novelty books. It’s the most fantastically surreal existence – one minute you’re in a meeting about contracts or international sales, and the next you’re discussing the emotional authenticity of a story about a jealous bear, or the colour and consistency of elephant snot . . . As a job it’s both challenging and incredibly fun. I’m lucky to do something that matters so much to me and that helps bring the work of authors and illustrators into the hands and minds of children.

Countdown to Christmas: The Poets' Lament


We've asked the SCBWI British Isles poetry group to add to the festive cheer with some seasonal angst. Enjoy!



(The poets would just like to reassure the readers that any resemblance to any agent alive or dead in any of the following poems is purely accidental and that a license to use poetic licence is pending.)
