I believe in meaningful literacy, underpinned by emotional, relational, expressive and survival literacy
The Horrendously Hungry Hoggle
In the pages of this book, live creatures big and small,
And a monster they must face, if they are to save them all.
For the Horrendously Hungry Hoggle has pulled the moon from the sky,
The creatures will need to work together to save it; they must try.
But not everything is always as clear as it may seem,
And on their brave adventure, they form an unlikely team.
Can the creatures save the moon from Hoggle's Hungry grip?
Or will the light of the moon be lost in a permanent eclipse?
Miss Understood’s Magic
Coming Soon!
Magic twinkles in every corner of the hidden village where Miss Understood lives. A gifted witch with Tourette syndrome, she is always ready with a spell or potion. But sometimes her tics send her magic whizzing and fizzing in unexpected directions. The villagers whisper that Miss Understood is nothing but trouble. So, when a mysterious melody puts them under a terrible dancing curse, is Miss Understood to blame, or could she be their only hope?
What sets my children’s’ books apart?
Research-Informed Storytelling
My stories are informed by my PhD research into literacy, social justice, and the ways in which language can shape confidence, identity, and belonging.
Neurodiversity at the Heart
I create characters whose differences are part of their magic, encouraging children to celebrate who they are and better understand those around them.
Big Ideas, Gently Told
Through warmth, humour and adventure, my books explore meaningful themes in ways that remain accessible, imaginative and fun for young readers.
