- About Me
- I am an illustrator and college lecturer.
- What are you working on at the moment?

- If you had to recommend just one children's book you've read in the last year, what would it be?
- I love anything by Oliver Jeffers, Alexis Deacon, Marta Altes and Delphine Durand.
- What is the most important thing you learned about writing or illustrating this year?
- Always ask children what they think of your work, they're the best critics and they also give great advice.

I worked there for a while as a sessional teaching the GNVQ's. I wasn't too good at controlling 16 year olds but it was a good learning curve! I've just had tea with Fiona and it would be great to all hook up at some point. Enjoy what's left of the Easter Hols! x
