Personal Information
Description
I am the Author, Illustrator and popup engineer of many children's books. For the past few years, despite a rigorous publishing schedule, I have spent as much time as I can out on the road, giving inspirational talks and fun workshops to children (and their parents) in schools, libraries and literary festivals, from Edinburgh, Cheltenham, even to Glastonbury. I have worked in the UK, Italy and America, in a great diversity of settings, the more challenging the better! The visits start with the simplest of readings, through explanations of the process of creating and producing a children's book, to drawing workshops and hands on pop-up workshops. I am happy to work with all sizes of groups. I have found working with children with special needs to be particularly rewarding. I am a passionate advocate for the world of children's books and as the years pass, I have become more and more drawn to working with and empowering young children to expand their creativity through this magical world. I find this work immensely satisfying and incredibly stimulating and I have been looking for ways to expand this side of my life.
