I’ve written and co-created three beautiful children’s picture books for little nature lovers…
We Are Family - paperback - 2023
We Are Family - hardback - 2022
Hedgehogs Don’t Live in the City! - paperback - 2018
Parrots Don’t Live in the City! - paperback - 2017
Together with my illustrator partner and business partner, Jenna Herman, I co-founded Doodles & Scribbles in 2017. Our books encourage children to pause, notice and care about the wider world around them and have been widely celebrated for their inclusivity, empathy and thoughtfulness.
Woven through with an attention to detail that brings the natural world warmly to life, each book offers a gateway for further discovery, fostering a lifelong love of curiosity and enquiry as well as reading for pleasure.
All of our books are available nationwide, online and overseas, through Waterstones and all good bookshops. We are represented to the book trade by Bounce Sales & Marketing, who have the largest dedicated children’s books sales force in the UK. Translation editions are also available - we are represented by International & Foreign Rights Agent, Helen Binns.
