Visual literacy is core to my all work. I adapt to your needs and different age groups using over 2 decades of experience as an author and illustrator working for publishers and visiting schools in different countries. In interactive assembly talks, classes and workshops, I can use my own picture books as a springboard around themes such as inclusivity ('You, Me and Our Whole Wide World'), pets and prehistory ('Mo's Best Friend, A Stone Age Story') or mark making ('Tiz and Ott's Big Draw'). In story making workshops I can prompt the most reluctant drawers and writers to create their stories from characters they build. In schools, libraries, museum and festivals my 'colour painting' workshops provide a calming, progressive way for all ages to create a huge variety of hues, shades, and skin tones using just 3 primary colours and white - guaranteed therapeutic fun! I also offer general talks centred on illustration and its history for older students.

I was so lucky to be asked by a collection of Waterstones branches for a collection of book-signings which were such delightful affairs. Children and parents meeting me? What more could one ask for of a Saturday? I visit prep and state schools regularly to encourage, to entertain and to help instil a sense of fun and magic into the lives of children. A live talk with a person is far more intriguing than wondering if what if? - if you are an inspiring author? Books entertain and teach and guide and create a familiarity and a resonance between the words and the reader. I've also lectured from an author stance to the WI.

DREAM HUNTERS is the first in a series of books set in a fantasy, reimagined India where dreams can be captured and bottled, young Mimi Malou must go on a quest to save the king and rescue her parents. Twelve-year-old Mimi lives with her Aunt Moyna in a centuries-old Citadel where she studies the ancient practice of making, capturing and recycling dreams. The Citadel was once run by Mimi’s parents who have been imprisoned by the king, accused of treason. When Mimi spies a royal visitor, she uncovers a plot to transform the Citadel from a place of gentle, healing dream craft to one of creating nightmares in order to poison the king. With only her dream creature, Lalu, and her best friend Rafi by her side, Mimi must escape the Citadel and begin a perilous journey across India. There are few people she can trust, but saving the life of the king is in Mimi’s hands alone… ADVENTURE FANTASY MAGIC

A warm and engaging speaker, I give a new perspective on World War Two by making it personal through the stories of my dad, a code breaker at Bletchley Park, my uncle, an agent for Special Operations Executive (SOE) and my aunt who was stranded in Nazi-sympathetic Hungary in great danger as a Jewish woman. Their games and rivalries as children run through the novels. I'm looking forward to meeting more children and young teens, and adults too who also have a stimulating experience when I come to talk.
