Think pink. Think big feelings. Some wonderful picture books exploring the importance of honesty, the power of words to hurt & heal, and how to see the world through somebody else’s eyes.

I'm available for book events next year! I've done quite a few now: at festivals, schools & bookshops. It's always a delight to collaborate with the children and see their imaginations fly! I live near Bristol, but willing to travel, please get in touch if you'd like me to visit!

I worked for Channel Four at the end of the nineties and early noughties and we made superb gardening programmes I am very proud to have been part of. It should be treasured for what it is, not flogged off unnecessarily.
