Yesterday JK Rowling took her fans by surprise as she disclosed that she is about to publish a new book. Titled The Ickabog, it will be available for free and can be read by fans. She had also encouraged children to share their illustrations for the book. “I’d like children to illustrate the book for me! I’ll be suggesting ideas for pictures as we go, but nobody should feel constrained by my ideas. Let your imaginations run wild!” she had written.

Well, we are happy to report that the author has indeed kept her word and her Twitter timeline is flooded with illustrations with Rowling giving a personal shout-out to them. The kids did take her cue and doodled everything from a princess to a caterpillar.
