I was always fascinated by science and also loved drawing and creative writing, so I made a career in laboratories and painted on the side.
Inspiration
- An Antarctic scene inspired by Francis Walker's immense picture displayed at Aberdeen Gallery a few years ago
Philosophy
My Deadlefizz Dinosaur storybooks have vibrant images and rhyming couplets to bounce you along with the drama. They should be a pleasure to hear and say, so that kids are excited to read, laugh, point at, enquire about and describe what’s going on. All of the book’s titles and many place names, use alliteration, which kids love to spot and say.
They can’t wait to be first to find Rusty Rabbit in pictures.
The books are “More than a Story” as there are a variety of extra activities. In the back of the books all the interesting words are described in Wonderful WOW Words and a series of questions and activities are designed to help create lasting bonds between parent / grandparent and child.
I loved reading books to my kids.
It is a magical time.
Don’t miss it!
