Llyfr a gyhoeddwyd i nodi Diwrnod Rhyngwladol y Llyfr.

Hanes Sam, sy'n fachgen swil ac ofnus, yn darganfod ei hun (yn anfoddog) yn rhan o antur fawr pan gai ei gipio gan forladron ar ddiwrnod y llyfr. Erbyn diwedd y stori mae'n fachgen dewr a hyderus. Nofel i blant tua 8-10 oed fyddai'n apelio at fechgyn a merched.

Mi wnes fentro i fyd photoshop am y tro cyntaf gyda'r darluniau yma a sylweddoli cymaint o amser gall y bwystfil yma o raglen ei arbed, ar yr un pryd a gwaredu y diffyg "crefft"!

A book published to celebrate world book day (in March).

Sam is a shy and nervous boy who finds himself on a quest following being captured by pirates on world book day! By the end of the story he is a brave and confident boy. A novel aimed at 8-10 year olds, boys and girls alike.

I ventured into the photoshop vortex with these illustrations and quickly realised how time saving use of this monster of a programme could be, whilst simultaneously mourning the lack of craft and skill involved!
