My first children's book is out today in the US, Canada and Australia (and some UK booksellers too)! An accessible book on climate justice, HOPE, holding on to big feelings, capitalism, white supremacy and race, histories of resistance and what young people can do about it all. I'm so proud of it.

17 years ago my mum brought me to see Wicked on the West End for my 9th birthday. Now, I've taken her to the Wicked movie premiere and we walked the emerald carpet together. Moments like this where I get to give back to my mum, after she has given me so much, are magic 🥹
