I've got a lovely treat for you today - a selection of characters from The Rainbow Orchid in Lego! These were all made by Emma Reynolds, a wonderful illustrator who I first met at my Waterstone's event as part of the Manchester Children's Book Festival, earlier this year. She showed me her RO Lego characters at Thought Bubble and I was gobsmacked by them - they're brilliant.

Emma says she took quite a while to do them as a lot of old, new and rare pieces went into their making, and I think you'll agree she's done a fantastic job.

Do go and have a look at Emma's website, she has a beautiful illustration style and I especially love the look of her children's book, Reynard the Detective. And if you need a late Christmas gift (or even a post-Christmas gift) check out her Etsy shop as well.

Emma's Lego Julius Chancer and chums are going into the readers' art gallery, so do go and have a look at the full set and see some other wonderful Rainbow Orchid art there as well. Thank you so much for these, Emma!
