Local author is flying high! For one mum in South Molton lockdown has brought out her creative side, and Jo Blake (right) has now published her second children’s book. Jo had always dreamed of writing and illustrating her own children’s books from a young age, “I used to love reading to my daughter when she was little, stories would bring up emotions and important messages to be learned! Rhyming stories are my favourite, especially if they incorporate some humour within the text.” Her second book, ‘Chiri the Hummingbird’, is about a small, sparkly hummingbird who likes to fly faster than any other birds in the Amazon rainforest. On a journey of self discovery, where he learns about empathy
and kindness. This book was inspired by Jo’s first book ‘Shy Skye Flies High!’, about a hyacinth macaw, who finds the courage to overcome her fears and play with her friends. You can contact Jo via her website: joblakeart.co.uk or her social media Facebook and Instagram @joblakeart Both books are also available on Amazon.
