Colin Graham

Professionally, Colin Graham has been a teacher, a head teacher, a part-time lecturer in teacher training and a field teacher for the RSPB. During that time, he told this story to many groups of children who always appeared transfixed by each instalment. Their empathy with miniaturised children was always apparent, so he finally decided to put The Shrinking into writing. Colin is now a trustee of The Barnsley Biodiversity Trust and project leader of Biodiversity in Schools. He visits schools on a regular basis and his knowledge of and empathy with children is vast. His wildlife knowledge is also formidable.
