HOW IT STARTED

IT ALL STARTED WITH ONE BOOK

The first book in this series was only ever meant to have one copy. Andy wrote it as a surprise for his sister and her husband to celebrate their son George’s first birthday.

When he asked his mate to print him one copy, his mate said, ‘This book is good, can we print more?’ What did Andy reply? ‘No. DO NOT print this book.’ Pretty sure you can guess what happened next.

Once upon a time, Andy wrote a story he definitely wasn’t supposed to. Then Heath made it even better with his illustrations. And Wizz? He’s been trying to stop them both ever since.
