She is now the author of over 60 books for kids and a workshop facilitator for adult-sized writers. She has written books on an eclectic range of topics, from surprising things we eat to global citizenship to the hidden world of toilets! She also deeply believes everyone is a writer and is on a mission to inspire and encourage people of all ages to write down their stories.
