Jo

Jo owns a truly magical children's bookshop in Salisbury. She was so knowledgeable and able to guide us as to what books to buy a seven and ten year old. Her book is a haven for young readers with sofas and tables.

Jo opened her shop in 2020, not a good time for an infant business. She had worked for Waterstones for 15 years before them, starting out as a Christmas temp.

Next time I'm in Salisbury I'm going to have to need to buy a children's book!

She’s got a lovely kindness and warmth in her face… I’m sure she’ll do well.

[Susan Wakely]

You have captured her so nicely.

[Dorothy]

Wishing her all the luck in the world! It is so important for young people to read.

So glad she is encouraging children to read this way. What a beautiful portrait of her.

[LManning (Laura)]

Book people are the best people. Great portrait!

[Joan Robillard]

Good portrait

hi Jo. I used to try to buy books for my great nieces, but they’d already read them by the time I gave them.

[Issi Bannerman]

Lovely portrait of Jo.
