Lilly & the Venus Flytrap

Lilly finds herself smack-bang in the middle of a magical adventure as she is carried off on the back of a rather clever bee who urgently needs Lilly’s help on a most important rescue mission. Lilly’s ingenious solutions, which only a little girl of her age and talent can come up with, mean that they can all go home safely before the end of the night.

Was it a dream or was it real? Join Lilly and Mr Bee on their magical adventure to find out!

Goodnight Sweet Dreams

Coming soon!

Goodnight Sweet Dreams Book Cover

Goodnight Sweet Dreams is an interactive and gently soothing story that will prepare sleepy little children for bedtime by taking them into the night-time worlds of Jac and the little animals on the farm as they too get ready for bed.

The little mice sleep under tufts of grass in the meadow and the birds rest under their feathery wings, the lambs curl up against their mums and they all dream while the stars twinkle and sing a night-time lullaby. At the press of a button, your little ones can sing along to the starry lullaby and get ready to dream and sleep.

Goodnight Sweet Dreams is a soothing folk and piano inspired children’s lullaby. It will accompany my new book, ‘Goodnight Sweet Dreams’, which is a bedtime story. Enjoy this short snippet and keep an eye out for the beautifully illustrated book.

The Cat, The Fish and The Ganges

Coming soon!

India is a glorious country that intoxicates the senses with the mysterious allure of heady colours and tantalising scents. In between the food and the mysticism, the flowing saris and the busy streets, is the shimmer of stories that are bursting to be told.

The story behind The Cat The Fish and The Ganges (CFG) is that of an unexpected friendship that spans a lifetime and supersedes the shallowness of perceived differences.

Children demonstrate this depth of relationship every day, relationships which know no bias, and as adults, we yearn to have this freedom of limitless friendship once again.

Look out for CFG, a tale from Kerala, which will be ready to join your bookshelves and lives soon!
