The Drama Llama

I am a huge fan of Ella’s, so I nearly fell off my chair with excitement when I found out she was illustrating The Drama Llama.

Her illustrations are hilariously joyful and I’m so excited for young readers and their grown-ups to meet Alex and his cheeky llama.

How to Grow a Unicorn

I’m so excited to have worked with award-winning illustrator Steven Lenton on our picture book, How to Grow a Unicorn.

It’s a tale of a magical plant shop starring Sarah and her adventures with loads of home-grown unicorns! Out now with Puffin Books.

As seen on CBeebies!

I was so thrilled to see How to Grow a Unicorn narrated by the amazing Cat Deeley in Episode 720 of CBeebies Bedtime Stories. It was broadcast on Thursday 2nd September 2021 and hopefully should be available on BBC iPlayer soon!
