Book: The Wizard of Once Book 4: Never and Forever
Genre: Fantasy
Hardback
Signed, Dedication is Available
https://www.cressidacowell.co.uk/
https://twitter.com/CressidaCowell
The Book:
Xar and Wish are on the final leg of their journey. First stop: The Mine of Happiness. Here, starvation is never far away for the Magical creatures who toil in its horrible depths. Xar and Wish must escape and fast; Xar needs to take control of his ever-growing Witchstain, and Wish must achieve her Destiny. But the Tatzelwurm is in their way, a grotesque monster who threatens to block every entrance.
Time is not on their side, but the forests are calling them. Will their combined strength be enough for the BIGGEST quest so far; to defeat the Kingwitch once and for all?
The Author:
Cressida Cowell’s reputation as one of the most spellbinding children’s authors around was confirmed by her richly deserved appointment as Waterstones Children’s Laureate for 2019-2022. Both of her fantasy series, How to Train Your Dragon and The Wizards of Once, combine high adventure with an abundance of quirky humour and a big heart, and have become staples of children’s bookshelves the world over.
Delivering intelligence and adventure in equal doses, Cressida Cowell’s peerless How to Train Your Dragon series debuted in 2001 with the eponymous How to Train Your Dragon, growing to a collection of 12 books that reached a conclusion in 2015 with How to Fight a Dragon's Fury. Combining Cowell’s skill as an illustrator and her unique prowess as a storyteller, these adventures of Vikings and their flying reptilian steeds are the perfect balance of humour, proper pathos and wild excitement. We love them.
Cressida Cowell initially cut her teeth as a writer and illustrator of picture books, a format she occasionally returns to (notably in her Emily Brown collaborations with artist Neal Layton, beginning in 2007 with Emily Brown and the Thing). Following the success of the How to Train Your Dragon series (also ably adapted by the Dreamworks animation team), in 2017 Cowell subsequently kicked off a new sequence of tales, The Wizards of Once.

The Book Pink!:
When Patrick wakes up one day to find he has inexplicably turned bright pink, he sees red! "Whoever heard of a pink penguin?" he cries. "And boys can't be pink!" After too much teasing, he's had enough. "I don't fit in here anymore," he tells his parents. "I'm going to Africa to see the flamingos." But poor Patrick doesn't fit in with them, either: He can't stand on one leg, skim the water for food, or fly off with the rest of the flock. So he returns home--and everyone is happy to see him! In fact, his friends are green with envy over his exotic trip. Ends up being hot pink is pretty cool!
The Book: Willow the Wildcat
Willow the wildcat kitten and her brother Corrie live in a cozy den in the forest with their mom. But disaster strikes when a nosy sheepdog collapses their den. Can the kittens stop fighting long enough to learn how to work together and find a warm, safe new home?
Written in lively rhyme, this charming tale of two siblings learning to appreciate each other and work as a team features dynamic watercolor illustrations of forest wildlife and two adorable wildcat kittens, which are endangered in Europe.
From the author of best-selling Skye the Puffling and Rowan the Red Squirrel, Willow the Wildcat brings the beauty of the Scottish Highlands and its animal inhabitants charmingly to life.
The Author:
Lynne Rickards was born in Canada but lives today in Scotland. She began writing children's books after telling many stories to her own growing children. Many of the young characters in her stories have been inspired by her children's activities and interests.

https://twitter.com/birdwriter7
The Book:
Children hear stories when they are quite small, fables, legends, fairytales, that take root like seeds, to grow and flourish, deep within their hearts. Sometimes these stories have a secret subtle power in shaping their destinies. Brother and sister, Billy and Stella, compete in the Junior Race with their dog-sledding teams. All kinds of dangers await them, not least the wolves. Their step-brother, Tom, a solitary Inuit, has angered the pack. Queen Wolf is missing. The wolves will make good their loss or else seek their revenge. At the heart of this story, Stella, a rookie musher, is on the threshold of womanhood. The Girl in The Red Cape is running with wolves, dancing across the virgin snow. All alone, it's Stella against the wilderness. But sometimes an invisible power supports her. And she has her comrades.This child, now grown, will catch a dream ...

The Book:
“Noi lived with his dad and six cats by the sea…”
Noi’s dad is a hardworking fisherman and Noi often has only their six cats for company. So when, one day, he finds a baby whale washed up on the beach after a storm, Noi is excited and takes it home to care for it. He tries to keep his new friend a secret, but but there's only so long you can keep a whale in the bath without your dad finding out. Noi is eventually persuaded that the whale has to go back to the sea where it belongs. Even though Noi can't keep the whale, it’s arrival has changed his life for the better.

Mouse is very excited for Christmas, but first she needs to find a home to spend it in! On her way through Treetop Forest, she meets Fox, Bunny and Bear, all in need of a little help – which she gladly offers – but as the sun sets, it looks like she won’t have anywhere cosy to spend Christmas.

The Book:
Wipe your shoes. Quiet please!. Don't play with your food. When you're small there are lots of rules to learn! Zoe's momma shows her that it's good to follow the rules .. Most of the time. Even good boys and girls need to go wild every now and then! Splashing in puddles, climbing trees and shouting at the top of your voice -- this playful picture book echoes with all the timeless joys of childhood.
The Illustrator:
Shane Crampton was born in St.Andrews, Scotland. She spent her childhood years growing up there, as well as in Aberdeen and the Shetland Islands. At the ripe old age of 29 she moved from Scotland to the other end of the country, to sunny (sometimes) Cornwall in South West England, where she still lives today with her husband and four sons and their two ridiculous dogs. Daughter to an extremely talented artistic and musical father, she was encouraged from an early age to embrace her creativity as much as possible by both parents. Shane graduated from Falmouth University in 2014 with a BA (Hons) Degree in Illustration and has been working consistently ever since.
Her work is a mash up of scribbling, painting (usually with gouache) and digital techniques. Her favourite pieces that she has created lately are her “Daisy girls”. Music is really important in the Crampton household and Shane often listens to music whilst working on projects. At the moment Iron Maiden and Rob Zombie are favourite artists to listen to whilst illustrating.
Her motivation is to improve her skills as much as she can, so setting herself self initiated mini projects on a regular basis is something she feels is vital to keep her work moving forward.

Book: Let it Snow!
Genre: Children
Paperback
Signed, Dedication is Available.
https://www.annefine.co.uk/
The Book:
When two families get caught in a snowstorm on Christmas Eve, it's a disaster! They're all quite sure that Christmas is ruined. Can they work together and turn things around? And will they become firm friends, filled with Christmas cheer?
The Author:
Though readers often find themselves inadvertently laughing aloud as they read Anne Fine's novels, as she herself admits, "a lot of my work, even for fairly young readers, raises serious social issues. Growing up is a long and confusing business. I try to show that the battle through the chaos is worthwhile and can, at times, be seen as very funny." In 1994, this unique combination of humour and realism inspired the hit movie MRS. DOUBTFIRE, based on Anne's novel MADAME DOUBTFIRE and starring the late comedic genius Robin Williams.
Anne is best known in her home country, England, as a writer principally for children, but over the years she has also written eight novels for adult readers. Seven of these she describes as black - or sour - comedies, and the first, THE KILLJOY, simply as "dead black". These novels have proved great favourites with reading groups, causing readers to squirm with mingled horror and delight as she peels away the layers in all too familiar family relationships, exposing the tangled threads and conflicts beneath. (It's perhaps not surprising that Anne has openly expressed astonishment at the fact that murder in the domestic setting is not even more common.)
Anne has written more than sixty books for children and young people. Amongst numerous other awards, she is twice winner of both the Carnegie Medal, Britain's most prestigious children's book award, and the Whitbread Award. Twice chosen as Children's Author of the Year in the British Book Awards, Anne Fine was also the first novelist to be honoured as Children's Laureate in the United Kingdom. In 2003, Anne became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and was awarded an OBE. Her work has been translated into forty five languages.
Anne Fine lives in the north of England and has two grown up daughters.

In 1994, this unique combination of humour and realism inspired the hit movie MRS. DOUBTFIRE, based on Anne's novel MADAME DOUBTFIRE and starring the late comedic genius Robin Williams.
Anne is best known in her home country, England, as a writer principally for children, but over the years she has also written eight novels for adult readers. Seven of these she describes as black - or sour - comedies, and the first, THE KILLJOY, simply as "dead black". These novels have proved great favourites with reading groups, causing readers to squirm with mingled horror and delight as she peels away the layers in all too familiar family relationships, exposing the tangled threads and conflicts beneath. (It's perhaps not surprising that Anne has openly expressed astonishment at the fact that murder in the domestic setting is not even more common.)
Anne has written more than sixty books for children and young people. Amongst numerous other awards, she is twice winner of both the Carnegie Medal, Britain's most prestigious children's book award, and the Whitbread Award. Twice chosen as Children's Author of the Year in the British Book Awards, Anne Fine was also the first novelist to be honoured as Children's Laureate in the United Kingdom. In 2003, Anne became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and was awarded an OBE. Her work has been translated into forty five languages.
Anne Fine lives in the north of England and has two grown up daughters.

Book: Magic Kids
There are kids all over the world who are born without a daddy because that’s what their mommy chose… but that doesn’t mean their family is missing something. These kids, in particular, are made with special ingredients that make their existence magic.As the population of Single Mothers by Choice (SMC or SMBC) grows, so does the need for a child-appropriate origin story for donor-conceived children. In this type of non-traditional family, the question "why don't I have a daddy?" inevitably arises. The answer to that tough question is always personal, but it helps to have a kid-friendly tool to assist. Magic Kids provides an exciting story that celebrates family diversity and empowers children of Single Mothers by Choice to embrace their stories.
Book: What Does Your Mum Do?
The world needs more women leaders in science, maths, technology and engineering- these Mums show it’s possible...and exciting!
Book: Rise Up: reach for your light
Despite a growing awareness of the benefits of meditation for adults, few resources exist for teaching meditation and mindfulness to children. Rise Up is a daily meditation that has been adapted for children, giving parents a tool to help teach their children how to recognize emotions and get centered before (or without) reacting to negative emotions that arise. This book presents a valuable intrapersonal skill for all ages, regardless of religion, in a fun, playful way. Don't worry, grown-ups; there is a guided meditation included for you too!

The Book:
Runaway Robot is a funny and heartwarming adventure about two best friends helping put themselves back together, from the award-winning Frank Cottrell-Boyce, illustrated by Steven Lenton.
When Alfie goes to Airport Lost Property, he finds more than he bargained for. A lot more. Because there's a giant robot called Eric hidden away on the shelves. Eric has lost one leg and half his memory. He's super strong, but super clumsy. He's convinced that he's the latest technology, when he's actually nearly one hundred year's old and ready for the scrap heap.
Can Alfie find a way to save Eric from destruction – before Eric destroys everything around him?
The Author:

The Book:
Runaway Robot is a funny and heartwarming adventure about two best friends helping put themselves back together, from the award-winning Frank Cottrell-Boyce, illustrated by Steven Lenton.
When Alfie goes to Airport Lost Property, he finds more than he bargained for. A lot more. Because there's a giant robot called Eric hidden away on the shelves. Eric has lost one leg and half his memory. He's super strong, but super clumsy. He's convinced that he's the latest technology, when he's actually nearly one hundred year's old and ready for the scrap heap.
Can Alfie find a way to save Eric from destruction – before Eric destroys everything around him?

Book: Discombobulator
Genre: Children - Educational
Paperback
Signed, Dedication is Available
The Book:
The Discombobulator is the ultimate prankster! His naughty spells leave all the creatures that he meets strangely transformed and utterly confused. Is there anyone who is clever enough to stop him and teach him a lesson? This is a funny and beautifully-illustrated story for young children, which also carries a simple but important message: treat others the way you yourself would like to be treated.
The Author:
I've always loved children's books and, growing up, I was constantly surrounded by them. Even as an adult, I was lucky enough to enjoy all the latest releases from some of my favourite authors and share them with my pupils.
It's always been my ambition to write myself but life always seemed to get in the way. I'm so excited to finally fulfil my aspirations and see what I have scribbled down on paper become the finished article.
I hope that my books will bring as much joy, magic and inspiration to this generation of children as the works of authors from my childhood did for me

The Book:
Little Clara Day wishes for the tallest hair in the world. But when her wish comes true, she discovers that having the tallest hair in the world is not without its problems.
The huge mane makes Clara famous. But now her hair obscures people’s views at school and in a theater; reaching the sky, it blocks airplanes.
The Author:
As a child, Helen Poole was fascinated by childrens books. She enjoyed writing stories and rhymes that she could illustrate. This fascination has lead to a full-time career. Helen graduated from the University of Central Lancashire, where she discovered working digitally and never looked back. Since graduating, her versatility has allowed her to work as a graphic and product designer, as well as an illustrator. She has worked on everything from toys and games to greeting cards and pet products. And lets not forget childrens books! Helen works much better when drinking large amounts of herbal tea and singing loudly to an extremely eclectic music collection (thankfully she works alone).

18 Books.
The Baker Street Readers take some of the world’s most famous stories from literature and retell them in a fun and accessible way for a new generation.
These books are perfect for readers, young or old, who think the classics are not for them. The lively and colourful, watercolour-style illustrations and the abridged stories help readers wave goodbye to their misconceptions about classic literature. Far from being dry and out of date, these stories have stood the test of time with their gripping plots, thrilling adventures and timeless love stories.
The Baker Street readers retell the classic stories in just 64 pages, with colour illustrations throughout. The best-known quotes and moments from the books are all included, with the stories retold in simpler language.
As well as the fantastic illustrations, we love the extra material in these books. There is a “cast of characters” list at the beginning of each books with brilliant (although sometimes scary!) illustrations of each character alongside a brief description. The books also have information on the historical background of each book, discussion points about the story and some great age-appropriate recommendations for further reading, both books and websites.
The series is perfect for schools and home reading and will really ensure a good understanding of the stories which is a great place to build on for a love of the classics!
They are a great support to the school curriculum but also show children and adults that the reason these stories have endured is their exciting plots and brilliant characters.

The Book:
A brand new, laugh-out-loud young fiction series from bestselling author Joanna Nadin. Perfect for fans of Horrid Henry and the Trouble with Daisy series.
According to head teacher Mrs Bottomley-Blunt, 4B is the WORST CLASS IN THE WORLD. She says school is not about footling or fiddle-faddling or FUN. It is about LEARNING and it is high time 4B tried harder to EXCEL at it.
But Stanley and Manjit didn't LITERALLY mean to make their whole class sick with homemade biscuits. And they definitely didn't LITERALLY mean for Manjit's dog Killer to eat their teacher's shoes or for Bruce Bingley's rat to escape. These things just happened even though they had a FOOLPROOF plan.
You see, 4B may be the WORST CLASS IN THE WORLD. But you wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
Highly illustrated and featuring two hilarious madcap adventures in one book, these books are just right for children ready for their first chapter books.
The Illustrator:
Rikin Parekh studied art at the Camberwell College of Arts and the University of Westminster. Fly Tiger Fly is his first picture book for children. He is also the illustrator of Iguana Boy Saves the World With a Triple Cheese Pizza, written by James Bishop, and its sequel Iguana Boy Saves the World In 30 Seconds or Less. Rikin also works part time as a Teaching Assistant in primary schools, and has previously worked as a film production illustrator. He lives in north west London.

Asha lives on the family farm with her mother in rural India.
Her father is away working in the city, and when the money he sends stops suddenly, a wicked aunt arrives. She’s determined to seize the property – and the treasure rumoured to be hidden on the land.

Book: Henry Baker
Genre: Children
Paperback
Signed, dedication is Available
https://nickymoxey.com/
https://twitter.com/moxeyns
The Book:
When Henry Baker finds a small, super-shiny black pencil on his way to school, his life is changed forever...
This nine-story compendium provides a gently stretching read for 7 to 9 year olds, or perfectly paced bedtime stories for younger children. The wide-ranging subject matter - from a friendship dilemma to helping a passing Viking; picking up the pieces from a karate disaster to finding a lost voice - will amuse your youngsters whilst quietly encouraging them to think.
Nicky is an amateur archaeologist and an author of adult historical fiction, as well as a karateka and the chair of the village Neighbourhood Plan committee - many of the stories are drawn from her research or every day life, giving them a depth of detail!
The Author:
I live in the middle of rural Suffolk, UK, and am currently owned by a slinky black cat who's far too clever for her own good.
In my spare time, I'm an amateur historian/archaeologist, and in dry daylight hours am usually out on a field somewhere with a metal detector and/or a trowel. I've added quite a few things to the Heritage England Record and the Portable Antiquities Scheme; but what really fascinates me is the stories behind the artefacts.
I love writing a series of short stories about Henry Baker, a boy who finds a magic pencil on the way to school - and who has lots of adventures as the pencil makes anything he draws, become real! He draws some historical artefacts, as well as things to get him out of the sort of trouble any 9 year old boy can find.

The Book:
A 2019 Schneider Family Award Honor Book!
What’s Happening to Grandpa meets Up in this tender, sensitive picture book that gently explains the memory loss associated with aging and diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
James’s Grandpa has the best balloons because he has the best memories. He has balloons showing Dad when he was young and Grandma when they were married. Grandpa has balloons about camping and Aunt Nelle’s poor cow. Grandpa also has a silver balloon filled with the memory of a fishing trip he and James took together.
But when Grandpa’s balloons begin to float away, James is heartbroken. No matter how hard he runs, James can’t catch them. One day, Grandpa lets go of the silver balloon—and he doesn’t even notice!
Grandpa no longer has balloons of his own. But James has many more than before. It’s up to him to share those balloons, one by one.
The Author:
Jessie grew up watching Kansas sunsets, and she’ll always have wild sunflowers and gold-tipped corn fields in her heart. She spent her college-life climbing mountains in Utah and striving for higher vistas. After a fulfilling career as a registered nurse, Jessie hung up her stethoscope to grow children and stories. She loves root beer floats, autumn, and running in the rain. These days you can find her in the Texas hill country with her husband and their four kids.

The Book:
The third and final book in the best-selling, award-winning ‘Bear and the Piano’ trilogy.
The first book in the trilogy - The Bear and the Piano - has sold over 120,000 copies in the UK and won the Waterstones Children's Book Prize, Illustrated Book Category for 2016
You probably remember the story of the bear who found the piano in the woods and grew up to become a huge star. He played his music in front of millions of adoring fans and all of his wildest dreams came true. But now, the audiences are smaller, the pianos less grand, and the applause is dying away. So Bear decides to retire. Back in the woods, he is sad that his dream is over but he soon has something to distract him: Little Bear! When Little Bear stumbles upon his piano in the woods, she can’t believe it when her father says that no one wants to hear his music anymore. So she comes up with a plan to prove him wrong.
The final book in the award-winning, best-selling trilogy shows that while fame and fortune might be temporary, the best songs stay in your heart forever.

Iris’s grandmother, Mimi, has started to put jam on her scrambled eggs and tie blue ribbons around her fingers to remind her of stuff. Her house, always full of things, is becoming harder and harder to navigate, and when Iris goes to stay, she feels as if a whole life is becoming muddled up. As her grandmother’s memory fades, a mystery is uncovered. Who is Coral, and what happened to her?

She spent her childhood in Scotland before moving to Leicestershire when she was twelve. She studied Fine Art (painting) and then travelled widely before settling in south London. She has taken on many jobs including working on a stall at Covent Garden market, selling paintings in Venice and teaching art to children. For many years she worked on research bids at the University of London. She now lives in Brighton with her partner and two teenage children, all of whom are taller than she is.

Twitter: https://twitter.com/suzancollins
Book1: Chatty Cat: My Purr-fect New Home
One woman. One cat. Two very different ways of thinking. Meet Chatty Cat and her human [hooman] as they get to know one another. Chatty Cat is a smart but scared cat who has been adopted and is getting used to her new home. Her hooman thinks she knows exactly what Chatty Cat is thinking and what she needs. Chatty Cat however has other ideas and with a mind of her own, her hooman begins to wonder who is actually in charge! Previously written under title 'Chatty Cat: The First Six Months'.
The Book2: Chatty Cat: Spring into Summer
The second in the Chatty Cat series follows Chatty through spring and summer in her new home as she gradually learns to relax and enjoy her surroundings. "The sun has warmed up the ground and now the sun is shining on my tummy and making it nice and warm. It’s all quiet in the garden and I fall asleep. I am dreaming…"
Life still holds a few surprises for Chatty, with new friends and new experiences. Chatty Cat is a real rescue cat in a real home and her adventures provide a useful guide to caring for your pet. It's not just a manual – but it will help you look after your cat. It’s not just a story – but you can read it like one. It’s not just a children’s book – but children of all ages will love it, and so will adults.
Book3: Chatty Cat: My Purr-fect Friends
Chatty Cat, the funny, sulky and occasionally wise rescue cat is back for the third time, and has lots to say for herself! She is very well settled in her new home and has trained her she-hooman, Jade, to provide nearly everything she needs. Jade still has a few bad habits, though, which Chatty needs to sort out. In this third Chatty Cat book, you will find out how she makes new friends, goes on fresh adventures and discovers more about the fascinating world she inhabits. Learn more about Chatty’s life, likes and dislikes, and what to do when your hooman is stealing from you . . FINALIST for the PEOPLE'S BOOK PRIZE 2016.
Book4: Chatty Cat: Autumn into Winter
Chatty, your favourite cat, is back. As the seasons pass from autumn to winter, she finds that life brings surprises, and not all happy ones, but with the help of her hooman, Jade, and her furry and feathered friends, she discovers that with love and a full stomach, anything is possible. She has always been independent, and full of questions and curiosity, and when Jade tells her about a tiny stray who needs a loving home, Chatty's big heart overcomes any reluctance she might have to share her home as she welcomes Izzy and shows her what to do. Chatty's new story might make you cry a little, and it will certainly make you smile, as she wonders about the strange habits of hoomans in winter, and discovers that helping others makes us feel as good as helping ourselves, whether we’re hooman or feline.

The Mouse Series
Genre: Children
Picturebooks
All Three Books are SIgned by Karl, Dedications are Available
Website: http://www.karlnewson.com/
Twitter: https://twitter.com/Karlwheel
Book1: I Am A Tiger
A hilarious and original story about a little mouse with big ideas!
The bold little mouse declares "I am a tiger." and manages to convince a raccoon, a fox, a snake and a bird not only that this is true, but that they are not what they think they are. When a real tiger turns up, can the persuasive and fearless little rodent manage to persuade the tiger that he is a mouse!
With vibrant artwork by award-winning illustrator Ross Collins, and delightful characters created by rising star Karl Newson, I am a Tiger is a story that will amuse and entertain everyone, from the smallest mouse to the biggest tiger.
Book2: I Am Not An Elephant
This laugh-out-loud story is about a bold and imaginative Mouse who is accused of being an elephant by a gecko. Despite having a pointy nose and flappy ears, Mouse is definitely not an elephant – but could Mouse be an owl, a sheep, a yak, or a cow? Mouse persuades the others that it's what is on the inside that counts - and maybe Mouse is actually a Moose?
With vibrant and characterful illustrations this hilarious follow on to the acclaimed I AM A TIGER introduces a new range of animals for the feisty Mouse to bamboozle.
Book3: I Can Roar Like A Dinosaur
Mouse might be teeny-tiny-titchy-witchy, but she's determined to show the other animals that anyone can roar like a dinosaur. With the help of her trusty "How to Roar Like a Dinosaur" book, Mouse gets to work getting her dino-roar back, much to the bemusement of the chattering meerkat, the grunting warthog and the ruk-ruking chameleon . . .
But what's that coming up behind them, with a really loud ROAR?!
The follow-up to the hilarious I am a Tiger and I am not an Elephant, written by Karl Newson and illustrated by Amnesty CILIP Award winning artist, Ross Collins.
The Author:
Karl Newson is an award-winning children's book author whose stories are published in over 20 languages around the world. He lives in London, with his family and a forest of pot plants.

But what's that coming up behind them, with a really loud ROAR?!

Book: Sofia Lily Rose and her Magical Pros
Genre: Children
Paperback
Signed, Dedication is Available
Twitter: https://twitter.com/JimmytGarrett1
The Book:
Sofia does a very kind thing, she gives a toy Fairy a silver ring.
This makes the Fairy come to life, she is Rosella, King Jamed's wife.
She hovers above, a bright yellow flower, and gives Sofia a special power! Whatever creature, big or small, Sofia can talk with them all.
She can chat away at any time, but only in animal rhyme!
This first book tells how she comes to be, an animal hero, for all to see!
This beautifully crafted book is packed full of educational facts and positive messages for children, each smoothly delivered in very funny, clever rhymes. The main themes that run through the book like golden threads, remind us
* Friendships are important and we should work at keeping them
* Try to Help Others, especially those in Need
* Recognise Diversity through different animals, their accents and backgrounds
* Beauty and Kindness are within us all
*To notice all animals and think about their welfare and their homes
* To look after the Environment and Never Throw Plastic in the Sea!
Sofia, aged 6 and a bit, is the little heroine that helps animals along her way, accompanied by her little hero dog, Koby, who saves a crab from a plastic prison!
The Author:
After 35 years as a Chemical Engineer, Culture Change Consultant and Trainer, I recently took semi early retirement and made a leap into the world of writing books and poetry at the youngish age of 55 and so far, it has been a phenomenal journey. I have had a fantastic life to date and been privileged to work and live in over 40 countries, immersing myself and my family into many different cultures and customs, stretching from Saudi to Sweden, America to Australia and Jordan to Jarrow thus making my kids a more than average “worldy” bunch! This work path, unbeknown to me at the time, has provided an amazing palette of colourful experiences to feed my ongoing writing frenzies and teach young children a bit about different countries, cultures, friendship and animals and the need to look after our environment! Oh how life pans out in unexpected ways!
The writing journey has always been there in parallel to my work life and many of my friends/family told me that I should give writing and poetry a go as they loved the stories and poems I wrote for all of their special occasions over the years. I’ve always had a thirst to write unusual, poignant, funny and sometimes edgy poems and I am indeed a big kid at heart. I love it when my work makes people laugh…and cry and as a typical Piscean, I am arty, trustworthy, dedicated, sensitive, emotional and very intuitive. I never break a promise and I am that guy who stops traffic to help an elderly lady shuffle across the road – in the hope that someone will help me in the not too distant future! I believe in the afterlife and saw 2 UFO’s when I was a teenager! I love animals and hate any form of animal (or human) cruelty. I played football and table tennis at quite a high level and made it into the Guinness Book of World Records as a teenager oh and I have hairless shins! What? Yep!
I was brought up in a poor, working class, loving family of 4 boys, in the heart of the North East of England and as a result, am a lifelong Newcastle United supporter living in hope each season. I was taught to value family, politeness and to say “please”, “thank you”, “I’m sorry” and “how are you” and have respect for the elderly. My Granda Jimmy Garrett, a poorly educated school leaver at 14 and British soldier in WW2, was and still is, my real life hero. He was the wisest and funniest man I have ever met and he taught me 3 life lessons:- Never forget your roots; Don’t get too big for your boots; Always keep a sense of humour. He has been my rock throughout my life well after he left us too soon and my author’s pen name is a lifelong tribute to him.
Apart from my friends and family being my writing and poetry catalysts, another inspiration came in the form of a gorgeous, polite, humble, shy 6-year-old girl, named Sofia Lily Rose, my only grand-daughter, who continues to be a breath of fresh air in my life. I wanted to give Sofia a little gift, a legacy that she would enjoy, something to boost her confidence and teach her a few good lessons in life, hidden in a funny, illustrated book, written in rhyme, hence my first children’s book, “Sofia Lily Rose and her Magical Prose”. Sofia was my lovely inspiration and helped me develop the story lines and actually provided some of the illustrations in the first of 7 books in the Sofia series, including a fantastic local map of our local park containing all of Koby’s favourite “wee” spots. Clever girl!
I have Self-Published this first paperback, eBook and audio book and I have read it to over 1200 kids aged 4-8 years to get reader feedback – the feedback has been amazing. They loved it – apart from James aged 7! I look forward to writing the other 6 books which will be published no matter what and will tap into my global experiences over the last 35 yers. In addition to this lovely stream of rhyming delights, I am building my poetry collection and reading these at open mic poetry nights to unexpected applause and these too will be made available across my social media platforms and book form in due course.
I am loving my writers journey and can’t recommend it enough to follow your dreams but to also stay focused and believe in yourself along the way.

Lydia Monks is a best selling illustrator and author of children’s books, based in Sheffield. She’s probably most well known for her collaborations with author Julia Donaldson. Many of their books have become household favourites, including ‘What the Ladybird Heard’, which has sold over a million copies and been translated into many languages. The book has been adapted into a theatre production, which has toured worldwide.
Lydia’s own books including, ‘Aaarrggh Spider!’ and the ‘I Wish I Were a Dog’ have won many awards and accolades. She has just finished the fourth book in her own pre-school series ‘Mungo Monkey’.
The Author:
Julia Donaldson CBE is an English writer, playwright and performer, and the 2011–2013 Children's Laureate. She is best known for her popular rhyming stories for children, which include The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom and Stick Man. She originally wrote songs for children's television but has concentrated on writing books since the words of one of her songs, "A Squash and a Squeeze", were made into a children's book in 1993. Of her 184 published works, 64 are widely available in bookshops. The remaining 120 are intended for school use and include her Songbirds phonic reading scheme, which is part of the Oxford University Press's Oxford Reading Tree.

Author and Illustrator:
Sue studied illustration at university and also sold doughnuts from a kiosk at the zoo. The illustration career won and she has now illustrated what must be a 100 books. When she met Paul Linnet she found another twit with a silly sense of humour so they fell in love and started writing and illustrating together. They wrote such epic sagas as; ‘Barry the fish with fingers’,’Norman the slug with the silly shell’,’No-bot the robot’,’Supertato’ and ‘I need a wee’.
It seems that others enjoy their frankly ridiculous stories and they have won prizes and all sorts. As well as the Portsmouth Book award, Sheffield book award, Oxford book award and Simply books Book Factor, they also won the Lollies Laugh out loud award in 2016.
Some nice people had the great idea to make the books ‘Wanda and the Alien’ TV series, it can be viewed in nearly 70 different countries.
Sue and Paul live in an untidy and half decorated house in the seaside town of Brighton. They have a daughter called Wanda who is perfect in every way possible. Sue is pretty good at swimming and Paul likes to ride around on an old motorbike that he’s fussed about with.

Book: Bad Mermaids Meet the Sushi Sisters
Genre: Children
Paperback
Signed
Dedication is Available
Website: http://www.sibealpounder.com/
Twitter: https://twitter.com/Sibealpounder
The Book:
Meri Pebble, professional spy mermaid, has a new mission. She's going to be a personal assistant to the Sushi Sisters (famous for their notorious appearance on reality TV programme Catwalk Prawn, and for driving around in a submarine shaped like a giant bit of sushi). Beattie, Mimi, Zelda and Steve the talking seahorse are coming along for the ride as the least convincing glam squad ever.
Meanwhile, on land, their human friend Paris is moving from California to a castle in Scotland complete with a loch rumoured to be haunted by a mermaid.
The gang soon realise there's something o-fish-ally fishy about the Sushi Sisters - but could it lead them all the way to Paris's loch? And what has the loch got to do with things like mercats and hamstars (half hamster, half starfish)?
Things are getting sea-riously weird in the fourth book in Sibéal Pounder's Bad Mermaids series!
The Author:
Sibéal has written for publications including The Guardian, fashion trend forecaster WGSN, Vogue.com and The Financial Times, where she was the resident philanthropy columnist for the How To Spend It section for six years. She studied Modern History at St Andrews and Quentin Tarantino film at Yale.
Her bestselling debut Witch Wars has been translated into 10 languages so far and was shortlisted for the Sainsbury's Children's Book Award and the Waterstone's Children's Book Prize.

Book1: Welcome to the World of Felicity Fly
Felicity Fly is a children's book based on childhood fears, for ages four to six. The book introduces characters Felicity Fly, William Washing Machine, Simon Spider, Willamena Woodlouse, Moey Mouse and Sissy Silverfish. These are all creatures and appliances you will find around the home. The book talks about fears children may have, the dark, loud noises from domestic appliances, spiders and creatures around the home. All stories about Felicity Felicity Fly rhyme.
There will be six altogether in the series. The book also comes with a CD recording of the story, which introduces children to different accents and helps them understand that people can be different in the way they speak and not just in appearance. The book is aimed at trying to make children feel that they are not alone when they fear something that it is ok and acceptable to have fears and that we all have different ways of dealing with this.
Book2: Felicity Fly Meets Veronica Vac
This book introduces a new character, Veronica Vac, which is quite an adventure. The book introduces the word 'nocturnal' and is also about individuals caring and helping one another. There is a CD narration of the story, where the characters are all given different accents. This helps children to understand more about the different pronunciation of words. The idea of these books is to encourage parents to read with children form a young age, to introduce words and to make reading fun.
Book3: Felicity Fly in the Garden
Felicity Fly in the Garden is the third rhyming story in the Felicity Fly children's book series. The story addresses pollination, with some lovely new characters, including a bumblebee, butterfly, ladybird, dragonfly and beetle - a great, fun way for children to learn. All characters are beautifully illustrated. The book is supplied with a narrated CD to help children read along.
Book4: Felicity Fly Meets The Dragon Fruit
Felicity flies into the house from the garden after hearing lots of noise coming from inside. Felicity Fly meets Daniella Dragon Fruit from Vietnam, Pablo Pineapple from Caracas, Brassica Broccoli from Italy and Toulouse Tomato. All the characters mention their health benefits. Children are also introduced to different geographical locations and accents with the free downloadable read-along version. The story also has elements which focus on teamwork.
The Author:
Christina Gabbitas is a children’s author, poet, storyteller and voiceover artist, who always loved to read rhyming books and poetry in my early years. She penned some stories that she stored away in a box file twenty years ago, thinking that one day she would do something with them. Welcome to the World of Felicity Fly was born in 2012. The series has taken her into the final of the People's Book Prize 2014-2018, winning Best Achievement Award in May 2019.
Born in Blackburn, Lancashire where she spent the first twenty two years of her life, before moving to various parts of Yorkshire, where she now lives. (passports for both)
Christina is founder and trustee of Children's Literature Festivals charity, her patrons and ambassadors include musician Michael Bradley of The Undertones and Actress Jenny Agutter.
As a child she loved to read anything that rhymed. One of her earliest recollections of fun poetry was Spike Milligan’s Granny and also On The Ning Nang Nong. She loves Spike Milligan’s book Silly Verse For Kids.
She has always had a love of music and used to help the headmaster of her primary school tune the piano. She spent some of her teenage years playing saxophone and percussion with a band and supported a popular indie band at that time called The Chameleons. They played around venues in Lancashire and admits that she did look at little freaky!

The sound of Sam's life was like the best piece of music you have ever heard. Everyone liked Sam, and Sam liked himself. But then one day the mud words begin and they get inside his head - and Sam can't hear the music anymore.
Mud Boy is an illustrated book for ages 5 and up, showing how children can go from being joyfully buoyant to totally deflated when being bullied and teased, and offering advice to get them back to their best. Mud, music and a family cat are used to conjure up the story to children in a very new and real way, showing that recovery happens through talking to others about our problems. The book also includes a guide for further talking points by Dr Pooky Knightsmith on how to discuss the topic, and the emotions that come up on reading the book, with children.

Book: The Girl with Space in her Heart
Genre: Humour - Middle Grade
Paperback
Mabel has a suitcase full of worries – it turned up just after her dad disappeared and before her mum started dating Gavin. She worries about big things and little things and shoves them into her suitcase until it’s so full it might explode... Fourth title from critically-acclaimed author of A Boy Called Hope and The Boy Who Sailed the Ocean in an Armchair (shortlisted for the Blue Peter Book Award 2015) and Just Call Me Spaghetti-Hoop Boy. Thought-provoking, heartwarming and laugh-out-loud funny. Perfect for fans of Jacqueline Wilson, Annabel Pitcher and Frank Cottrell Boyce.
Book: The Boy who Sailed the Ocean in an Armchair
Genre: Contemporary - Middle Grade
Paperback
All Becket wants is for his family to be whole again. But standing in his way are two things: 1) his dad, his brother and him seem to have run away from home in the middle of the night and 2) Becket’s mum died before he got the chance to say goodbye to her. Arming himself with an armchair of stories, a snail named Brian and one thousand paper cranes, Becket ploughs on, determined to make his wish come true.
The Book: Midge & Mo
Genre: Early Reader
Paperback
Midge doesn’t want to go to a new school. He wants everything to go back to the way it was – with his old school, his old friends and his parents back together. Mo is Midge’s buddy at his new school. She’s super smiley and can’t wait to be his friend, but the more Mo tries to make friends the more Midge retreats. It’s like there’s an invisible raincloud hanging above his head – drip-drip-drip.
Then Mo remembers how she felt when she was new and it makes her even more determined to help Midge feel happy and to show him that the sun will come out for him again soon…
A poignant and heart-warming story about new beginnings.

The Book:
WARNING: DO NOT GIVE THIS BOOK TO YOUR OWN GRANDMA. SHE MIGHT GET IDEAS...
Danger is her middle name!
Ollie's dad is missing - but Grandma Dangerous is on the case! She has a hot-air balloon, thirty packets of biscuits and a pooch with magical powers (she says).
But as they sail through the skies, Ollie realises they're not just on a rescue mission...
The Author:
Kita wrote and illustrated her first work, Cindersmella, at the age of six. It was swiftly and cruelly rejected by publishers. The sequels, Repunsmell and Mouldilocks were equally badly received.
Disheartened, she turned her attention to making stuff and, luckily, they did degrees in that. After getting one she built sets for TV shows - but the feeling that she should write funny books for children never went away.
Kita graduated from the Bath Spa MA in Writing for Young People in 2017 and the opening of Grandma Dangerous appeared in their 2016 anthology.
She lives in Oxfordshire with four daughters and a hamster.

https://twitter.com/SherylWebsters
The Book:
Tinysaurus is desperate to be bigger. He wants to be able to do all the things that his big sister, BigSissysaurus, can. He especially wants to be big enough to look after the eggs that his mum has just laid, but when a hungry Nastysaurus comes and tries to steal the eggs, Tinysaurus discovers that being small has its advantages!
The Author:
With a degree in English and Psychology I worked as a primary school teacher before going on a career break to bring up four children. I nurtured a passion for writing and published picture books with OUP, Andersen, Little Tiger Press as well as reading schemes with Pearson, HarperCollins, Egmont and Franklin Watts. Through my teaching and writing I have a drive for encouraging a love of reading in children.
My many literary influences include Enid Blyton and Kes Gray, but my greatest influences are my children, who provide the inspiration and ideas for most of my stories. I strive to create stories that are dynamic, heart-warming and witty.
My eldest son, Sean, is an Illustrator/Mural Artist so one of my highlights has been working on stories together for Think Equal.

The Book:
Arabella is a beloved only child who has everything a little girl could want. That is, until her brother, Avery, the master of mayhem, comes along. While she certainly loves him, she finds that it’s sometimes very hard to like him. So she spends her days creating marvelous, magnificent things with her magic pencil, and trying to ignore him. But when he spoils her perfectly proper tea party, she decides drastic action is required and she erases him from her life. Oops! But things aren’t the same without him — can she get him back?
Arabella and the Magic Pencil is a charming story, which will appeal to any child coming to terms with a new sibling and to caregivers who are supporting changing family dynamics, as well as those who love fantasy and engaging, alliterative language.
The Author:
Stephanie Ward is the author of Arabella and the Magic Pencil, illustrated by Shaney Hyde, published by EK Books in September 2019. Her next picture book is due for release in 2020, but it’s all under wraps at the moment so stay tuned for details!
After many years in marketing, Stephanie now spends her time writing sweet, silly and sidesplitting stories for children. Too old to blame it on youth, she still hasn’t settled down and spends her spare time traveling. Originally from Spokane, Washington in the U.S., Stephanie’s wanderlust inspired her to visit all seven continents, live in four countries and become a citizen of three. At present, she can be found in London, England with her husband and young son.

Face Book: https://www.facebook.com/AuntJodiesGuides
Twitter: https://twitter.com/AuntJodiesGuide
The Book:
Join Sophie and Matt as Aunt Jodie takes you on an imagination-expanding journey back in time. Learn about evolution in two different species, millions of years apart: the Plesiads, ancient lemur-like creatures from 55 million years ago, and colour-changing Peppered Moths from the 1800s. What happens to the Plesiads when a volcano erupts? How do the moths survive when their camouflage stops working? Discover the secrets that help all creatures transform and develop when big changes happen in the world around them.
Parents, Aunts, Uncles and Grandparents: Do you know what happened after the dinosaurs died out, but before humans existed? Could you explain Darwin’s theory of evolution to your child? Parents, learn along with your kids as we explore the key contributors to evolution: inheritance, variation and selection. Not just another boring bedtime story, this science adventure into the ancient past makes learning about the basics of evolution fun and engaging, and uses words and concepts that are right for kids in middle and upper primary school. Story-based learning helps everyone remember scientific concepts. For anyone new to science, Aunt Jodie’s Guides also include an easy-to-read glossary, explaining the scientific terms used in the book, and how to pronounce them. So give a gift of knowledge to your children and set them up for a lifetime of STEM success!

A few years ago Jordan decided she wanted to bring “grown up science” to little minds, and the Aunt Jodie’s Guides series was born. With a 7-yr old daughter it’s particularly important to her that there are good female role models in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math).

Book: The Apprentice Witch
Genre: Children - Fantasy
Paperback
Signed
Dedication is Available
Website: https://jamesnicolbooks.com/
Twitter: https://twitter.com/JamesENicol
The Book:
A special middle grade debut of magic and courage in a world of witches, written with the charm and enchantment of Circus Mirandus and The Apothecary.
Arianwyn has flunked her witch's assessment: She's doomed. Declared an apprentice and sent to the town of Lull in disgrace, she may never become a real witch-- much to the glee of her arch-rival, Gimma.
But remote Lull is not as boring as it seems. Strange things are sighted in the woods, a dangerous infestation of hex creeps throughout the town, and a mysterious magical visitor arrives with his eye on her.
With every spirit banished, creature helped, and spell cast, Arianwyn starts to get the hang of being a witch--even if she's only an apprentice. But the worst still lies ahead. For a sinister darkness has begun to haunt her spells, and there may be much more at stake than just her pride . . . for Arianwyn and the entire land.
The Author:
I always knew I wanted to write the kind of fantasy novel I had escaped into as a child, somewhere that felt safe and filled with characters that did brave things and had lots of fun at the same time. But I wanted the magic in my book to be part of the world, not a secret, and I wanted to see what happened after a witch was trained and was sent out into the world to work. When I was thinking about all this, one day I got a really clear image of a scene for the book – I wrote it all down as quickly as I could and then thought, now what happens next ...
James Nicol has loved books and stories his whole life. As a child he spent hours absorbed in novels, watching epic 1980s cartoons or adventuring in the wood at the bottom of the garden searching for dragons and witches. He has worked in bookshops and libraries and now spends all his spare time writing! He lives near the city of York in a house with too many books and too many musical instruments with his partner and a black and white cockapoo called Bonnie.

The Book:
A special middle grade debut of magic and courage in a world of witches, written with the charm and enchantment of Circus Mirandus and The Apothecary.
Arianwyn has flunked her witch's assessment: She's doomed. Declared an apprentice and sent to the town of Lull in disgrace, she may never become a real witch-- much to the glee of her arch-rival, Gimma.
But remote Lull is not as boring as it seems. Strange things are sighted in the woods, a dangerous infestation of hex creeps throughout the town, and a mysterious magical visitor arrives with his eye on her.
With every spirit banished, creature helped, and spell cast, Arianwyn starts to get the hang of being a witch--even if she's only an apprentice. But the worst still lies ahead. For a sinister darkness has begun to haunt her spells, and there may be much more at stake than just her pride . . . for Arianwyn and the entire land.
The Author:
I always knew I wanted to write the kind of fantasy novel I had escaped into as a child, somewhere that felt safe and filled with characters that did brave things and had lots of fun at the same time. But I wanted the magic in my book to be part of the world, not a secret, and I wanted to see what happened after a witch was trained and was sent out into the world to work. When I was thinking about all this, one day I got a really clear image of a scene for the book – I wrote it all down as quickly as I could and then thought, now what happens next ...

Book: Anna at War
Genre: Historical Fiction - Children (Middle Grade)
Paperback

Website: https://authorsalouduk.co.uk/speaker/helen-peters/
Twitter: https://twitter.com/farmgirlwriter
The Book:
As life for German Jews becomes increasingly perilous, Anna’s parents put her on one of the last trains leaving for England. But the war follows her to Kent, and soon Anna finds herself caught up in web of betrayal and secrecy. How can she prove whose side she’s on when she can’t tell anyone the truth? But actions speak louder than words, and Anna has a dangerous plan…
A brilliant and moving war time adventure from the author of Evie‘s Ghost.
The Author:
Helen Peters is the author of The Secret Hen House Theatre. She grew up on an old-fashioned farm in Sussex, surrounded by family, animals and mud. She spent most of her childhood reading stories and putting on plays in a tumbledown shed that she and her friends turned into a theatre. After university, she realised that she needed to find a job where someone would pay her to read stories and put on plays (though maybe not in a tumbledown shed) and so she became an English and Drama teacher. Several years later, finding herself as a stay-at-home mother of two, she decided to have a go at writing the sort of book she’d so enjoyed as a child. Helen lives with her husband and children in Sussex, and she can still hardly believe that she now gets to call herself a writer.

The Book:
Join Rebecca and her friends at Trebizon, perfect for fans of Enid Blyton’s Malory Towers and St Clare’s.
Rebecca has never been good at maths. If she doesn’t improve, she’ll go into a different class next year and be separated from Tish and Sue and the rest of her friends, but the new young maths teacher is no help at all.
Only the excitement of a sponsored surfing competition can distract her. But when the money raised goes missing, can Tish, Sue and Rebecca solve the mystery?
The third exciting book in the classic Trebizon series.
The Author:
Anne Digby lives in England and her children's books have long been popular. A new chapter book for ages 5+, The Oh!-So-Secret Princess, was published in January 2019. Her Jug Valley Mystery series, for ages 7+, originally published by Puffin Books, is also available on kindle.

Genre: Children Middle Grade
Paperback

Website: https://quicksmiths.com/
Twitter: https://twitter.com/writingloris
The Book:
Welcome to the dazzling new world of Quicksmiths, where you will encounter Strange Energy, the Mowl, Wormholes, Dark Forces and the tantalising riddle of the Ark of Ideas.
When Kip Bramley receives a cryptic invitation, delivered by a beetle shaped drone which appears to be breathing, his world will change forever. Soon he finds himself chasing riddles and solving puzzles on a crazy treasure hunt set 400 years earlier by a mysterious genius. As things get dangerous, it seems much more is at stake for Kip and his family than winning top marks at his strange new school…
A mind-blowing, puzzle-packed, epic adventure!’ Kieran Larwood
‘Inventive first fantasy novel,’ The Observer Best Children’s Books of the Month
‘A fast-paced adventure imbued with the true magic of science and all the limitless possibilities of the world. You can’t help but read this and imagine that anything is possible and there’s still so much of the world to discover … There are wormholes and timeslips and thoughtwaves and slipstreams and so much more!’ Gavin Hetherington, bookseller and booktuber
Beautifully illustrated with a map and ten original drawings, the first print-run of this book also has eye-catching orange-sprayed edges. There are two bonus puzzles inside for readers to solve and win prizes!
The Author:
Born in Bolton and made in Zimbabwe, Loris Owen grew up loving Roald Dahl, J.R.R. Tolkien, Tove Jansson, C.S. Lewis, Susan Cooper and Lewis Carroll. There’s nothing she enjoys more than adventure stories about other worlds. Favourite contemporary MG authors include Philip Pullman, Markus Zusak, Kieran Larwood and Louis Sachar.
Loris has lived and worked in several countries in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Animals and nature have always been a creative force in Loris’s writing, and you’ll always find a lovable animal somewhere in her writing.
Some interesting facts about Loris: she piloted a plane some time before she first got in the driving seat of a car; her fondest holiday memory is holding hands with a wild green turtle when diving in Oman; her most-played song is Spanish Flea; she enjoys a good puzzle and her favourite word is metagrobologist.

The school bully is the only one who can save them. James’ life has been turned upside down and now the local bully has made him a target. So why would his mother insist he should invite him over? Especially when they’re hiding a secret badger clan at the bottom of the garden.
Now the badgers are under threat from a gang with fighting dogs and the badgers aren’t the only ones in peril.
Danger is approaching and it will make the most unlikely of heroes.
The Author:
Rachel Coverdale was born and bred in the beautiful North Yorkshire countryside in North East England. Raised with copious amounts of animals but without the distraction of a modern TV set, she turned to books and her own imagination for entertainment. Animals were and still are a huge part of her life and inevitably they made their way into her stories. Believing strongly in fresh air, nature and outdoor play to give children a sense of fun and freedom, Rachel uses her books to encourage children to connect with nature and venture into the countryside.
Having taught as an English teacher for many years and now settled happily into the role of school librarian, Rachel ensures all her books are not only creative, imaginative and exciting, but also of great educational benefit. Teaching resources and a scheme of work are available for "The Boy Who Couldn't".
Rachel is regularly featured on BBC Radio Tees Book Hour with Bob Fischer and Shack discussing and reviewing her latest reads. She also travels her native North East England paying visits to Primary and Secondary schools, giving talks on her books and about the importance of nature and the environment they live in.

Book: My Colourful Chameleon:
Genre: Children
Paperback:
Signed, Dedication is Available:
https://leonieroberts.com
https://twitter.com/leonierobertsuk
The Book:
A pet chameleon is causing havoc at home and getting her owner into all sorts of trouble - he keeps hiding and is almost impossible to find! What is the best way to spot the playful pet, and what will convince mum the clever creature can stay?
The Author:
Leonie Roberts (1984) was born in Plymouth and raised in South Liverpool. Although as a child she did not enjoy reading herself, Leonie has always been mesmerised by listening to wonderful stories. She grew up with the tales of Roald Dahl, The Pongwiffy series by Kaye Umansky and classics such as "Stig of the dump" by Clive King.
Around the age of seventeen, Leonie’s love of reading began and she went on to study English Literature and Language at university. Since then, Leonie has trained as a Primary school teacher and has spent three wonderful years living and teaching in Italy. It was there in 2013 that she began writing for children.
Leonie is now back living in Liverpool with her new writing companion, Susie the dog. She has written a number of picture book stories and can be often found in local libraries sitting on small chairs, making her way through a giant pile of picture books (whilst trying to blend in).
