A digital watercolour painting of a mother dormouse being awoken by her two daughters on Christmas morning. The daughters are both wearing red Christmas hats, and the younger of the two holds out a stocking stuffed with presents, while the eldest clutches a teddy bear.

Another from the winter childhood series! Instead of focusing on what we received, i wanted to illustrate that initial feeling, rushing into mum's room in the early hours to share our excitement…

A family of dormice posting their letters to Santa, at a postbox located in a warmly-lit indoor location. The mother dormouse, dressed in a mint green scarf, navy jacket, blue jeans, and black boots, holds up one of her daughters to help her reach the entrance of Santa's postbox. The child is dressed in a red scarf, orange puffer jacket, blue jeans, and green wellington boots. The elder daughter reaches up on her tiptoes to reach the entrance with her letter, dressed in a white scarf, pink puffer jacket, blue jeans, and green wellington boots.

i remember writing our letters to Santa - of course, this is after going through the Argos catalogue and circling what we wanted!

A digital watercolour painting of a family of dormice in a 1990s household. The mother has just finished bathing her two children, and has brought them into the living room by the electric fireplace to dry.

Growing up, we didn’t have a proper fireplace - so after baths mum would rush us in front of the heater to warm up and get dry.

A digital watercolour painting of two young Dormouse characters, drawn in a style similar to Beatrix Potter. The two children are having a snowball fight, wearing puffy coats in the style of the 90s, one wearing orange and the other wearing pink.

Snow as a child always meant listening to the radio to hear whether school was closed due to snow… nothing beats the thrill of hearing your school's name read out!
