We Are Family - hardback - 2022

My mission is to create beautiful, lyrical books that inspire children to pause, notice and care about the wild world around them, whilst fostering inclusivity, empathy and thoughtfulness.

Bringing the natural world warmly to life, I aim to write books that nurture a lifelong habit of curiosity and enquiry, whilst helping children to grow their connections with the wider world we share.

I’m delighted to announce a brand new publishing deal which will see two beautiful, new, nature-themed picture books hitting the shelves in 2025 and 2026. More details coming soon…
