His rapport with children has led him to work as a primary school teacher, arts workshop leader and home-tutor and this is apparent in his lively ink pictures. He lives in Symondsbury, Dorset. Jim's books for Frances Lincoln are Noah's Bed, Animals Aboard, Seven for a Secret , A Walk in the Wild Woods and The No-No Bird. Around half of the Anholts' titles are illustrated by Catherine, including the Chimp and Zee serie
`This book not only deals with an important issue in an understanding and perceptive way, it's also a jolly good read. . . One of the best, and funniest, I have seen dealing with this subject.'
This is a strong, easily understood story, with lovable characters who make plain the sadness while emphasising the positive aspects of two homes.
'A perceptive and understanding book, born out of personal experience and a reassuring way to explain a difficult situation to very young children. The delicate illustrations are sheer delight.'

'This whimsical picture book offers a sensitive approach to separation with a loving message and a happy ending.'
'Tenderly told in rhyme, this tale about parental separation takes a difficult subject and presents it sensitively for a very young audience reassuring children that no matter where they live, both parents love them and it' s their parents not they who are responsible for the split.'
` This is a really clever idea.'
'This sensitive and friendly story will strengthen and reassure any child faced with such changes in their life. Good that it' s here'
` This will be a reassuring book for young children experiencing family break-up, and enjoyable and enlightening for those lucky enough not to have been through this trauma.'
