readilearn: Introducing Robbie Cheadle author and illustrator of the Sir Chocolate Book series

This week I have great pleasure in introducing you to Robbie Cheadle author and illustrator of the Sir Chocolate Book series.

What most appeals to me about the Sir Chocolate Books is Robbie’s amazing fondant illustrations. I am also impressed that her twelve-year-old son Michael co-authors the books with her, and has been since he was ten. Perhaps your children will also find this aspect interesting.

About the books

Sir Chocolate and Lady Sweet live in Chocolate Land where everything can be eaten. In each story, told in rhyme, Sir Chocolate and Lady Sweet have a new adventure or problem to solve. Robbie also includes recipes from the story in each book.

To date, there are five books in the Sir Chocolate Book series.

About Robbie

Robbie Cheadle was born in London. Her father died when she was three months old, and she and her mother emigrated to South Africa where they lived in Johannesburg, George and Cape Town. While growing up, Robbie attended fourteen different schools. This gave her many opportunities to develop social skills and meet new people as she was often “the new girl”.

Robbie is a qualified Chartered Accountant and writes in that field about equities and investments in South Africa.

While Michael co-authors the books with her, Robbie’s other son Gregory (aged 14) assists Robbie and Michael with filming and editing their YouTube videos and editing their books. The books are very much a family affair.

For other books written by Robbie, see the end of the blog post.

The interview

Welcome to readilearn, Robbie.

Thank you for inviting me.

 Robbie, the number of books in the Sir Chocolate book series is continually growing with five books now available. What gave you the idea for this series?

    There’s so much to love about Robbie, one of which is her wonderful books. I also adore that she writes them with her son and they always include eating (well, when read right).

      If you’re not eating before you read Robbie’s books, you’ll definitely want to be eating during the reading. 🙂

                It was a little rush. My publishing technician is getting me prepared for the pre-book promotion. I have to dash to the finish line of my poetry book. 🙂

                    Thank you, Norah. I think what people usually do is to post the front cover two or three days for a pre-launch, then another post on the day(s) of launch for low price (or free) download. I’ll also notify some friend like you, and a few others who may not blog every day. Thank you, Norah!
