My debut picture book was published in February 2023 by Quarto Books and I’m delighted to see it out in the world. It's illustrated by the wonderful Rob Starling - I love how he's brought Armadillo's world to life! I’ve been having lots of fun visiting schools and bookshops, sharing my story - and amazing armadillo facts - with children and I’m so pleased the book is finally in the hands of young readers. I'm loving all the colourful Armadillo activity sheets I'm seeing after each visit too!

‘Deep in the leafy rainforest, down where the river bends, lived a lonely Armadillo who wanted to make friends. A kind and gentle creature, he just wanted to belong - the trouble was, instead of right, he always got things wrong!’

This is the hilarious tale of a mixed-up Armadillo and his muddled attempts to throw a party to make friends. It's a fun way to celebrate thinking differently about things. For schools, libraries and festivals, I offer a fun and interactive 30 minute session based around this book. The ideal age range is 3-7 years.
