I am passionate about creating interesting nature books that appeal to early readers featuring beautiful illustrations and interesting text.
Below is a selection of books I have illustrated and written, in addition to these I have illustrated for other authors and collaborated on other projects.

The Snowdrop's Song.

It was deep mid-Winter and a time of rest for all things.
Little seemed to stir, but outside something magical was about to happen. Silently and almost unnoticed among the fallen leaves a tiny plant had pushed her way through the cold soil.

The Snowdrop stood proud, turned her face towards the milky Winter sun and began to sing her song...

The Story of Jim and the Pests on the Plot

When little Jim decides to grow his own vegetables he discovers some of the many animals who live in the garden like to eat plants too!
A tale of discovery, cunning and acceptance as Jim learns about the animals and the importance of the balance of nature.

This is a story that will resonate with gardeners both young and old, and gently introduces themes of seasonality, patience and respect for the natural world to young readers...and of course there is a happy ending too!

This fully illustrated picture book has 32 pages of full colour illustrations.
