Hi David,
It's great to know you like The Christmas Truce and also to hear about your great grandad - what a brave man, you must be very proud of him. Good luck with your own illustrations, and happy Christmas!

My name is David and I'm 12 years old
My mum just brought this book for me and I couldn't be more pleased with it. my grandad was in the Christmas truce in the Scottish fusiliers and he was my great grandad William wood! Luckily he survived both wars but sadly I never got to see him. You have inspired me to write and illustrate my own Christmas truce book.
One of the perks of being an editor (actually, there are many) is that you can, occasionally, be involved - in a small way - in actively shaping how a book looks.
You can also, sometimes, work with people you'd never normally get to meet.
