AUTHOR EVENTS ARCHIVE “The sessions were wonderful – really inspiring and so different from anything we have seen before. We already loved your books and always find them useful for school projects - but the sessions gave us new insight into their production.” Youth Services Manager - Northern Children’s Book Festival

“Thank you for a magical day at St.Olave’s. Your rapport with the children was wonderful, they talked about you for days afterwards - we’ve taken some photos of the jaguar masks so I’ll send them soon. We had to order even MORE books the following week, brilliant! Principal- St Olave’s School, New Eltham.
