Salty Dog and Pals: The Storm & Other Stories
Clank, whir, rumble, hum, whoosh! Clank, whirr, rumble, hum, whoosh!
Whatâs that?
Itâs the sound of Salty Dog and Pals flying through the printing press again, as the first edition sold out from the publishers, on publication day!
Salty Dog and Pals is filled with sea shanties, Highland dancing, howling storms and extravagant bath time routines. Life on the island is certainly NEVER dull!Â

What will I learn in the Masterclass?
- How Helen and Katie wrote the stories together at Helenâs kitchen table - on two iPads, one Google doc, a load of layout paper and sticky tape
- How they brainstormed 10 stories over 10 days. Yes, they did!
- Where their ideas came from (*spoiler* Salty lives in an upturned boat, and so did Helenâs Grandparentsâsort of. They squatted in a WWII Nissen hut)
- How Helen and Katie knew if an idea was a keeperÂ
- How they pitched Salty Dog to the publisher
- Why did they base Kitty on Good Ship pal, Tania
- How Helen illustrated the stories: paper, paints, palettes, all that stuff
- How they designed their world: their island, their upturned boat house, the bunk beds of dreams and Bernardâs nik-naks
Salty says âAnchors Aweigh!â
