The Rainbow Flamingo is out TODAY!

This was the book that I wrote for my Mam.

It’s based on the message she always gave me - be proud to be who you are.

Sadly she isn’t here to see it published. 💔🌈🦩

But, like she was, it’s full of joy!

Illo’s by the fab Claire Powell

So excited to see Wolves In Helicopters in this ace selection 🐺🚁🐺

Fantastic children’s section of bookshop in Tarragona. Even had a slide! And nice to see some familiar PBs as well as lots of new ones! Sarah Tagholm Paddy Donnelly Benji Davies 🤩👏 📚

Disasters begin brewing long before storms rage, rivers burst their banks, the land dries up, or the ground trembles.

They begin months, years, decades before with people in power failing to act. That's why we're rethinking disasters. Will you join us? shelterbox.org/break-the-cycl…

I loved illustrating Lily Murray’ brilliant story about a prickly cactus who’s not too keen on company. Hope readers enjoy it!

Thanks to Oxford Children's Books! 🧡

Best PB craft course I've done bar none (I was on the first one so deserve a special badge). It's not just theory, this course gets you writing and critiquing. ClareHelenWelsh is wonderful, and I'm still friends with my course-mates.

Sign up, you might meet your Vicki Minchin!

Happy publication day to me!! Bear vs Dragon is finally out in the world! Written by me, illustrated by Mark Chambers and published by Oxford Children's Books 🐻🐉🐻🐉🐻🐉

A swashbuckling tale of bravery, quiet determination, and not giving up on your dreams.
I hope you love it.
