Siberia!
So excited that I am getting to go to Siberia this December, to celebrate the publication of Star in Russian. Star is a snowy winter story, set in Siberia, about Anna, and a Siberian tiger cub. I loved writing it, and researching these beautiful animals. Star is inspired by a real Siberian (or Amur) tiger called Zolushka. I can’t believe that I’m going to visit Siberia, and see the amazing snowy landscape. I’m a bit nervous too, as in Irkutsk it could be as cold as -21 centigrade!
