As a young girl I often had my nose buried in an Enid Blyton book, dreaming of days where I could head off on adventures with The Famous Five. Now as an adult, I enjoy creating my own stories … but for little ones 2-6 years.
Picture books that children, parents, caregivers and teachers can enjoy, with compelling words, and beautiful illustrations.
I believe that you are never too young, or too old, to enjoy a story!

When Duck Got Stuck

A simple message about why it’s important to take our rubbish home lies at the heart of When Duck Got Stuck, along with the idea that we all need help sometimes – an important message for small children.
This gentle and heart-warming picture book is perfect for 2-5 year olds.
