Hello This is probably not the appropriate place to send thanks. But any–old–how thank you for the prompt sending of Babette’s CD. It went straight into the DVD player and was promptly worn out. The information is wonderful and incredibly helpful.
And thank you Babette for your wonderful "fizzy" stories and a CD that erupted millions of "oooOOooohs" in my lounge:0)
A humungerous thanks!

Dear Miss Cole, I have received your DVD this morning, and I have already watched it. I should say that I loved it, because on this DVD you show everything I wanted to know: the process of the idea’s creation; the "storyboarding" (sketching) of the story; the painting; and, most of all, the way you presents the final, or partially, work to a publisher.

I know that I and my wife are just beginning as writers, but I know that your work (and the DVD) is inspiring, and will help us a lot!
Thank you very much! You are a lovely person (specially on the DVD)!
Good health and happiness for you!
Yours sincerely,
Rafael and Beatriz.

Hi,
I have and watched my dvd it was great, Babette Cole is wonderful to watch and her drawings are as mad and as fun as she seems to be, (I say that as a compliment) I am sure this dvd will sell as quickly as her books.
Thanks again

Hello

This may seem a rather bizarre request but I was wondering if you could supply me with some information regarding Babette Cole and her book Two of Everything.

Firstly, let me introduce myself. My name is Katherine M and I am in the final year of a teaching degree in Bedfordshire. As part of one of our modules – Childhood in Crisis – myself and two other students (I use that in a loose sense as we are all the wrong side of 35!) have a presentation to deliver on Children and Family Breakdown. We came across Babette’s book in the library and thought it was a wonderful story that portrays the children’s view in divorce and family breakdown. We are going to read the story as part of the presentation.

I was curious to know where Babette got her inspiration from and why she decided to write the book from that particular angle.

Many thanks
