I've been eagerly awaiting the release of this project, as it is such an important book. Superheroes Vs. Cancer aims to help children understand cancer and its treatments. I had so much fun creating characters to represent the cancer cells and the superheroes who help treat them.

What does Christmas mean to you? For me, it meant seeing what Santa left in our sacks, eating Coco Pops for breakfast, going to church, followed by a traditional turkey roast then more presents from the family. Christmas consisted of just our family of five, and that was perfectly fine with me.

Argh! Celebrity authors... worth a read. theconversation.com/im-a-childre...
I’m a children’s writer – and celebrity children’s books undervalue my craft
Celebrity children’s books are a recurring phenomenon – from Jamie Oliver and Keira Knightley to Meghan Markle and Jimmy Barnes. But writing for children is harder than it might look.

Grandparents can be very noisy while they sleep. Some snore, others grind their teeth. But Grandma Croc is unique; she snores like a dinosaur and growls like a hungry wolf. This story truly begs to be read aloud as we discover each new sound Grandma makes. RAWWR! A Rollicking Read!

A PB trilogy reminiscent of "I Want My Hat Back." A plucky pigeon wishes to be a chicken. After all, chickens have it all—a cozy nest, and plenty of food. Pigeon sets out to prove he can be the best chicken in the coop but soon realizes what a plump chicken is truly meant for.
