My third picture book – Dare We Be Dragons? – is published by Farshore and is available wherever books are sold. This story is inspired by the power of imagination, story and fantasy, and the ability of children in particular to get swept away by the excitement of pcreative play. Set across a single day, it follows a father and his daughter as they embark on an awesome adventure together.

My second picture book – Alone! – is published by Pavilion Books and is available wherever books are sold. Alone! is a story about both friendship and solitude, with a cast of animals and humans that learn to live with one another. This was so much fun to work on and I’m proud to be releasing it into the world at last. Thanks as always to the wonderful team at Pavilion - and grab your copy today from your favourite book seller. When I was writing Alone! I had no idea that just around the corner was a global pandemic that would give this story about a little boy's wish to be alone an extra layer of meaning. I've seen first-hand the strange and unpredictable effects that living a socially distanced life can have on children, and while they are resilient and adaptable in ways that us grown-ups often aren't, they thrive on social interactions and family connections. I really hope that in this covid-defined era, where many of us are forced to spend a lot of time alone (or alone-together) my story might help some parents open up conversations with their kids about friendship, personal space and being open to new experiences.
