Tamzin Merchant Instagram – Happy Birthday Puffin! Today we’re celebrating the 80th year of Puffin books with the publication of The Puffin Book of Big Dreams! This is a collection of short stories from Puffin authors, the dreams of kids around the country, all illustrated by brilliant artists. Magic! I am so thrilled that my short story has been published in this book. It officially means that (as of today) I am a published writer 🥳 it is head-spinningly wonderful to have my story in such illustrious company, beside stories from some of my all-time literary heroes from childhood. (Roald Dahl, Malorie Blackman, Jacqueline Wilson, Terry Pratchett!) The book is a beautiful collection, full of heart and soul, big dreams and beautiful art. I thoroughly recommend it 💛 #HappyBirthdayPuffin
