Happiness,
no matter what happens
We make beautiful children’s books
that show young people how to be happy
with themselves,
in the wonderful world we live in today.
Geoffrey comes runner up!
I am very proud to share that 'Geoffrey Finds a Bike' was shortlisted for the Stratford Literary Festival and Salariya Publishing Picture Book Prize!
'Geoffrey Finds a Bike' is a story about a Giraffe who just wants to ride his beloved bike, but the wind keeps getting in the way.
Following in the hoof-steps of this fabulous Giraffe, I am excited to see where the wind takes us next.
If you are interested in working with Geoffrey and I, please do get in touch.
I love how the book is so encouraging despite all the challenges that Little Tessa faces along the way to become an Astronaut. We learn the word "Perseverance" ...no matter how hard it is, as long as you work toward it you’ll achieve it one day !
