Reviews

“An easy sell.” – Kirkus, 2020

“…fun and visual. I could see myself using the book for classroom visits/booktalks.” – Jennifer (Teacher/Librarian), Goodreads, 2021

“High-interest content and visuals will appeal to reluctant readers and animal lovers alike. ” – Booklist, 2021

I trained as a zoologist and zookeeper, and have been a children’s book author and presenter for over ten years. Why do I write? Because it’s fun! What do I write about? Mostly my main interests – animals and the environment.
