Author and illustrator Paul Morton

I've been a professional illustrator for over 30 years and now an author illustrator which I absolutely love.

My two Early Readers, published by Five Quills, feature Bug Belly the ever hungry (greedy) frog. These are both 96 pages and fully illustrated.

I enjoy taking my Bug Belly 'roadshow' out into schools, bookshops and libraries and have a selection of tailored presentations and craft sessions to offer.

World book Day review:

"A highlight of the day was the special assembly led by picture book creator and author Paul Morton, who captivated Year 1 to 4 children with excerpts from his book 'Bug Belly'. His engaging storytelling and insights into the creative process left a lasting impression on our children."

As Bug Belly launches himself off the slide in pursuit of scrumptious worm snack, he accidentally knocks loose all the rocks that are damming up Top Pond . . . Suddenly, he's in a race against time to get the taddies to safety before the...
