 Hi everyone, my name is Rose Robins and I am a children's book author and illustrator. The British Library asked me to make a small concertina book, all about myself, just to show you how easy it is to make a book or to make a story. So this book is going to be a bit about me and it's going to be a bit about my imagination as well, which is something that really helps me to make children's books. Hi, my name is Rose. I'm 31 years old and I live in South London with my partner. I work as a picture book maker and an art teacher. It's a great job. I have two brothers, one of whom is autistic like me. We all live in different places but we all love music, chips and pancakes. I like to go on adventures and meet interesting people and animals. Some day I would love to go to Cat Island in Japan or Istanbul. Apparently there are lots of cats there. You kind of get the drift there that I like cats. So this side of the concertina book is more about my imagination and my internal world as I've called it. When I was little I had three imaginary friends, Lenny, Bluey and Eric. They lived on a fantastical island with a deep lush jungle. When I visited them we would fly high above the trees. So that's a daydream I would have quite a lot about flying. As I got older they stopped appearing in my life but if I ever need them I know where to find them and that's through drawing. So that's the end of my concertina book and because it's a concertina which is a sort of folded book you can actually pull out all the pages to look at them in a long line like this. So this is side one. I'll show you some photos at the end as well so you can see them all still and I'll just flip around. This is side two. So thank you so much for listening to my story and I hope you guys can have a go as well at making a concertina book. It's super easy and fun.
