Hello!
I’m coming to you with the replay of last month’s Picture Book Club, where we looked at On a Magical Do-Nothing Day, by Beatrice Alemagna. It’s a beautiful book, and a lovely one to do a deep dive into. I hope you enjoy!
Without further ado - here is the replay for paid subscribers, along with some prompts to help you analyse the book.
Until next time!

Join the club!! Art Club and Picture Book Club are for paid subscribers. I really appreciate every subscription and see it as a little affirmation that I am on the right track. Read all about my history here. All subs help me to continue making illustrated books, and creating posts here on Substack. And as well as supporting me, you get benefits too. What?! Yes, you heard me! You get access to my big back catalogue of paid posts, and access to my monthly Zoom sessions: Art Club and Picture Book Club. And if you can’t attend live, all sessions are recorded and posted afterwards.
One of my favourite things about the MA was when we looked at picture books together and analysed them, so I am thrilled to run this on my Substack. I announce the book at the beginning of the month and then we have a live Zoom together and chat all about it! It is available as a replay afterwards for those who can't make it.
Book Choice:
I can’t believe I’ve been running Picture Book Club for so long, and I’ve not done a Beatrice Alemagna book before! I am rectifying that this month with this pick On a Magical Do-Nothing Day.
Get the books from friends of Gather, Filter, Make Helen Hancocks at her bookshop Shelf Editions or Katie Clapham at her bookshopStorytellers Inc.and help support Indies!
