Up on the Roof

The story of a family of seagulls: Pegasus the mother seagull, Nelson the father seagull and their three young chicks. How protective the parents are of their young, able to care and nourish them as they grow. The weeks before they are due to fly the nest, a disobedient chick doesn’t listen to his mother Pegasus and father Nelson. Much like human families, where mothers and fathers, parents, guardians play a crucial role in bringing a family up, lessons have to be learned and rules have to be followed. When you are young this can seem harsh at times, but it is done out of love for the safety of a young family. It is only when we are older and wiser that we can fully understand the sacrifices that parents make. The importance of family and the love which grows when we are young and into adulthood. Staying together as a family can be hugely rewarding as grandchildren enter the family.
I hope in some way that children can read this book and understand the values of family through the eyes of the seagull family. After all, what is more comforting than coming home to your family where the home is full of love and you feel safe?
A family of seagulls move in but will they all stay together, ‘up on the roof’?

Waiting For… (Part Two)

We Don't Live There!

A bee living in the sea? A penguin in a pig sty? And what about that poor tiger stuck in a bee hive?! That’s not right!

These poor animals are living in the wrong homes – so where do they really live…?

Find out what other animals have got themselves mixed up and in the wrong habitat, and where they really belong.

After all, it’s just too cold for a poor mole down in Antarctica, isn’t it? And pigs wouldn’t do very well living underground, would they?

Where should a whale really live? In the ocean...or in the jungle with the monkeys and big cats?

What are your ideas?

Whither Wander Wood

The dragon family live in a tree house in Whither Wander Wood. They share the wood with other animals amongst trees which withdraw their roots at night, to meet and greet each other and to exchange the current gossip.

The dragons and their friends shop at The Cookie Shop and watch Henrietta Hen juggling her tasty eggs. Reg the Veg supplies them with scrunchy vegetables and fruity fruits.  

One day, Mean Man arrives in the wood intent on cutting down all the trees and erecting monstrous buildings in their place. The Whither Wander Wood animal residents devise a plan to thwart Mean Man. Finally he leaves the wood promising never to return.  

All the animals hold a celebratory party with eggs on toast, scrunchy vegetables, fruit and cake.

Peace comes once more to Whither Wander Wood.
