I am a retired teacher who had 37 years in the profession, educating all ages from 5 to 16, plus adults in further education. I understand the importance of reading to children to help develop their imagination, vocabulary and concentration. It can be a springboard for discussion on the content within the book, i.e.- acts of kindness, friendship, being helpful, protecting nature and moral issues.

You will find the characters work together, support each other, have lots of fun and love to party!

When I retired, I began writing short fairy-tale-type bedtime stories. This grew into a 125-page book, which I then illustrated. The process took almost 15 years of my time!

I love cooking, gardening, all types of art/craft work, photography and writing, both stories and poetry.
