About me

I'm Emma - I teach tiny humans. We love books and writing and art and lots of adventures.

I also love writing stories and poems filled with warmth and giggles. I love playing with words to help them fly, and creating characters with a passion for life.

I enjoy the warmth and energy of Joseph Coelho and Valerie Bloom’s poetry. I adore the fierce passion of Louise Reid’s verse novels, and I am in love with Katya Balen’s prose which reads like poetry.

I live in Bath, UK, with my husband, two children, a cat and a big pile of books. Before that, all of us (not the cat!) spent a lovely five years in Melbourne, Australia, chatting to kookaburras and kangaroos, but failing miserably at learning to surf – though we did get very good at swatting flies and finding beautiful beaches.
