I love nature and the outdoors, and taking little ones on imaginative adventures. My twelve Story Trails for the National Literacy Trust 'Hungry Little Minds' campaign in 2021 combined Early Years learning with bespoke local tours in parks and green spaces all around the UK, with gorgeous illustrations by Aaron Cushley.

Here are two examples:​

Manchester Platt Fields Park Story Trail

Swindon Coate Water Park Story Trail

​

Each location was very different and sparked a unique magical tour, grounded in a practical guided walk for ages 2 and up. From trolls and pirates to pixies and historical figures, I loved working closely with all the different parks and local organisations to bring the stories to life. I would be thrilled to work on more projects like this.
