“Join Tigby on his magical adventures. Created by award winning author, illlustrator and Forest School Teacher Jojo Stewart.”
Tigby on Tour is not just a collection of tales; it is a heartfelt mission to nurture the next generation's capacity for imagination and resilience. With each page turned, children are invited to embrace the beauty of storytelling and the transformative power it holds.
My passion for children's literature became a reality after training with The London Art College in Children's Illustration. The most incredible opportunity to write, illustrate, and publish my very own children's book opened doors I had long desired to walk through. With over 25 years of teaching experience, I witnessed first-hand the challenges my students faced in an ever-changing world. This experience fuelled my dedication to craft a story that emphasises the vital message: "Keep Trying and Never Give Up." It was from this inspiration that the lovable character Tigby was born, along with his adventurous friend Tonga, who together show children the importance of perseverance.
Drawing from my love for collage, I took a unique approach to my book's illustrations, aiming to create a visual narrative that resonates with children. I incorporated elements that remind readers that life is not always perfect; it is filled with lumps, bumps, and wobbles. Each character, including Tigby, has their quirks, which symbolise the fact that everyone is unique and that our imperfections are what make us special. The letters in my illustrations are individually cut, each carrying a slight wonkiness that adds to the charm of the story. Ultimately, Tigby's adventures teach children that the journey may be uneven at times, but with perseverance, they can reach their dreams - reminding them that every step, no matter how flawed, brings them closer to success.
Join Tigby on his exciting adventures as he explores the wonders of nature and uncovers the magic of storytelling! With each turn of the page, Tigby invites readers of all ages to embark on a journey filled with creativity and inspiration.
Dive into the world of Tigby, where nature and storytelling intertwine to create unforgettable experiences!

I was eagerly awaiting the release of this book so I was delighted I was able to get one of the few signed copies. The book arrived very quickly from purchase point and having read the book myself, I look forward to seeing the reaction of my class once the holidays are over.
