Every book starts with an idea, a spark, a moment of inspiration, and travels through many hands until it ends its journey with a child. This blog will track the journey of one book, written by James Mayhew, and illustrated by Jackie Morris.

It doesn't match your first cover, but it is very effective. I like it.

I love it. All the little details.
It's quite beautiful - I love the details. I love the picture of it on Facebook with the new behind it, your new studio is excellent!
Beautiful, delicate and nurturing.
Fantastic,I love it! Just such a lovely composition with the corner details, beautiful unicorn...
I think it has a really good feeling...
Best of luck with this Jackie,
Carrie...
very nice! love your dragon and unicorn...
Lovely! I particularly like the way you've drawn the dragon's face.x
I feel traitorous saying I like this more then the first one but I do. I think it's wonderful, so many things to look at and investigate. It captures my imagination for the story.
I still like the first cover, but not better than this. It is just different. And I like this one and think it works so much better than the second one.
WOW! What more can I say. You are sooo talented. I just love your work.
Warm Wishes

Beautiful concept, *friendly dragon.* As with the first two covers, looking at this one would certainly make me pick the book up for a second look!

Beautiful pictures Jackie :)
I went back to the beginning of this blog, just for a nosey around, and it's so interesting to see how much the book has changed from your first roughs. It's also interesting to take a look at how the people posting comments have changed too! I clearly had toooo much time on the day I did this!!!

Beautiful work Jackie x
Strange... mostly when people picture a unicorn or a dragon you can tell it's from their imagination... but with your drawings I have the strongest feeling you drew them from life...!
This is fabulous... you haven't even put the colour in yet and it's still fabulous!
You'll have to do this one as a print too. It's lovely.
