As a children’s author, I specialise in books for young children. I often write in rhyme, and aim to make sure that every story bounces along with plenty of humour, so the books are fun for adults to read aloud too. I find that bigger children take great delight in books of this type, too, even though they are supposedly “too old” for them...

I love the fact that rhyme and rhythm – which build on long and powerful traditions of oral storytelling – are still so effective today, making stories a pleasure to listen to and remember. Settling down with a good book in a warm lap encourages even the youngest children to develop good social communication skills, and helps to prepare them for the day when they will become young readers (and writers) themselves.
