writing - picture books and activity books

I have been focusing more on my writing in recent years, and was fortunate to be accepted on the HarperColllins Author Academy (Writing for Children) in Spring 2025.

Whilst I have been working on a couple of picture books in the background, I was commissioned to write a few pieces for National Geographic Learning’s Trailblazer, which cultivates critical thinkers, readers, and writers and provides the language support they need to be ready to study subject-matter content in English.

I’ve also found a special joy in creating activity books and resource packs for children aged around 5+, developing activities that are creative, fun and educational. Treasure maps with rhyming clues, lots of art, some maths, and new languages - activities that can be done in the book but also in the home and outdoors. All my activities include elements that help to nurture positive values and character traits - developing empathy, respect, honesty and kindness, for example.
