Do you love loom bands and love Jacqueline Wilson? The two hobbies often seem to go together and now they have been combined in a magical way!
The cover of Jacqueline Wilson’s new book The Butterfly Club was revealed today at Waterstones Piccadilly in London created using 7,500 loom bands! This picture shows the actual cover and the recreation by loom artist Samantha Baird and it took three weeks to complete. We think it’s loomtastic!
The loom band cover will be on display for two weeks from today after which it will be auctioned and the money raised will be donated to charity.
Loom bands are actually linked to the story and the book includes instructions of how to make a loom band butterfly. The main character of The Butterfly Club is Tina. She’s a triplet, but she’s always been the odd one out. Her sisters Phil and Maddie are bigger and stronger and better at just about everything. When the girls start in super-strict Miss Lovejoy’s class, they’re split up and Tina is horrified when she’s paired up with angry bully Selma, who nobody wants to be friends with. But when Miss Lovejoy asks them to help her create a butterfly garden in the school playground, Tina discovers she doesn’t always need her sisters. The book isn’t out until February 2015 so we’ll have to wait to find out what happens.
The Butterfly Club is available to pre-order from the Guardian bookshop but doesn’t actually come out until February 2015.
