I love writing stories for children, and I also enjoy reading aloud to them in schools and groups like the Brownies. My first aim is to write a page-turner, to keep my readers interested, but I also like to include social themes and health matters. These topics then become an interesting basis for a discussion after each reading. It’s so interesting to hear what children have to say and they never fail to surprise me!
My latest book, Reggie Ruby, the Pirate of the Trees, with wonderful illustrations by the very talented illustrator and stained-glass artist, Frans Wesselman, is about trees and saving the urban forest. It also has a subplot related to strabismus (also known as squint). As an adult sufferer of strabismus, it’s a topic I know something about. Eye Surgeon, Mr Saurabh Jain, kindly advised me on the medical content.
If you are interested in inviting me to do a reading for children (in person or online), please do get in touch. I’d be happy to discuss it with you.
Warmest wishes, happy reading! Lucia x
