Children are great teachers: working with them, I am reminded how to imagine vividly and create spontaneously. In the books written, illustrated and bound by hand over the past five years, I have tried to make each page come alive with the same magical excitement as first entranced me when I discovered books. I hope these small creations may be read and shared by young people all over the world – and most importantly, that they inspire children everywhere to write, paint and create beautiful books of their own.
