Happy publication day to me! I Could Be Eaten By A Shark is officially out today! My second picture book with Mark Chambers, is about learning to live with our fears, making room for worries instead of trying to quash them (because sometimes it’s not that simple) 🦈🦈🦈
Very, very excited to be one of the authors being championed by the GLL Lit foundation this year!
Sharing the brilliant I Could be Eaten by a Shark book trailer! Thank you Oxford University Press!!! 🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈 out May 1st

🔊 Our 7th annual #ReflectingRealities report is out now! This year’s report shows a significant drop in the presence of racially minoritised characters in books published for children in 2023 in the UK.
First time doing a zoom session with a school today - and it’s for #bookweekscotland , 10 schools, 800+ kids! Terrified but also very excited. Being a writer requires so many more skills than I ever thought! Wish me luck 😁😁😁
It was such a great day!
Last week @marcelafwrites.bsky.social and I presented our new picture books (out next year!) at the OUP Sales conference in #Oxford. It was a real joy to share the stage with Marcela & to talk about the inspiration behind our stories. My Kerfuffle Bird is beautifully illustrated by #GwenMillward ✨
Yesterday I got to read and chat about my next PB - out next year with Oxford University Press! It was pretty special. Got to keep celebrating the wins 🙌🙌
