Here at Advocate we were delighted to receive this lovely book from one of our children’s illustrators Francisca Marquez!
Ever wondered just how dinosaur bones go from being buried deep underground to being displayed in our museums? Got a hidden desire to go looking for these prehistoric monsters yourself? We follow a bunch of palaeontologists on their trip to discover a ginormous triceratops, and watch them put it together piece by piece. Better yet, there are tips on how to carry out your own excavation! Francisca’s charming and lively illustrations make those bones leap off the page, as she captures the excitement of making a huge discovery. This is perfect for curious young dinosaur fans!
If you’d like to see more of Francisca’s work, click on her name or visit her portfolio on the Advocate Art website

Check out these awesome phonics books for Tick Tock! This book series is illustrated by a number of our Advocate Illustraters, and you can have a look at more of their work in their portfolios on our website.
Each book teaches children how to read by teaching children to recognise the sounds of letters, and each book leads onto the next in the series.
With such a large amount of books being worked on by so many of our fabulous artists, each with different styles and aesthetics, it makes the series exciting to move through, as it’s constantly changing and fun to see what you’ll get next!

“Hi Guys!
Ahh, I just realised it’s my anniversary today – 3 years ago today was my very first day as a FULL TIME freelancer!!
I was so scared to take the plunge and leave my secure (ish!) part-time job, but thanks to you all keeping me so busy during this time it proved to be the best move I ever made and it has FLOWN by!
Thanks for being such wonderful agents!!!
I honestly can’t tell you how appreciative I am of all your hard work!
Here’s to to the next 3 years and beyond!!!
Can’t wait!

Andy Rowland’s illustrations for “Little Nellie’s Big Book” have been shortlisted for the oxfordshire Book Awards! When Nelly reads a description of herself in a book, she is convinced that she is a mouse, with her grey skin, big ears and thin tail! She only becomes more confused when she meets some mice, and it transforms into a wonderfully funny story which falls under the ‘best picture book’ category in the awards. You can view Andy’s portfolio on the Advocate website here. Good work, Andy!

This weekend it was children’s book agent Kate’s birthday! We celebrated in the Advocate offices with cake, balloons, a gift, a beautifully illustrated greetings card (of course) and a sing song! Then we celebrated AGAIN! With a fancy dress party, as you can see, some of us made a little more effort than others… Art agent Hannah came dressed as Andy Warhol, very fitting for an illustration agency we think! And Kate was rocking the Lady Gaga look!
Happy Birthday Kate, we hope you had a great time!
