Picture Books

In the pages of my books you’ll discover robots and aliens, diamond thieves, letters sent by paper plane, misunderstood vampires, abominable cuttlefish, missing gerbils and ragdolls with a (tragic) life of their own.

My award-winning debut picture book, The Misadventures of Frederick, was illustrated by Emma Chichester Clark. It was a Times Book of the Year and was longlisted for the 2021 Kate Greenaway Award.
