I have been a children's book illustator and author now for nearly ten years now.  I live in London and share a studio with other artists. I also visit primary schools where I lead creative writing and art workshops. When I am not working on my books and talking to children, I like to perform comedy improviastion for fun, which basically means getting up onto the stage, playing games, making it up as I go along and being silly in front of an audience! When I am not showing off you can find me walking in the countryside, talking to birds and any other animal that will stop to have a chat. I'm also very fond of sausages and beans and I love a cup of tea with a slice of cake!

"If Mummy was something Little Elephant could put on every day, she would be a big woolly jumper - soft, snug, and warm. If  Daddy was something Little Bear could put on his feet, he would be a pair of wellies for splashing in the rain. But what would Mummy be if she were a place, a fruit or a bird? And what would Daddy be if he were a meal, a toy or a noise?"

 This adorable fun flip-over book, offering two stories in one is out NOW!
