Latest Updates

On 4th March, a new story will quietly join my collection of calming books for little people.

The Little Grey Feather is a gentle tale about change, belonging, and discovering that even the smallest, softest things can carry unexpected strength.

It’s for children standing at the edge of something new.

For little ones starting school, moving home, or simply learning that sometimes life feels a little uncertain.

And it’s also for the grown-ups beside them.

I’ve held this story close for a while now. I can’t wait to share it with you..

I’m absolutely delighted to share that my Oscar’s Island Adventures series of children’s picture books is now available to buy on madeinjersey.je  — a wonderful local platform celebrating Jersey’s makers, creators, and small businesses.

Set in some of Jersey’s most iconic spots — from Plémont cliffs and Grève de Lecq, to St Aubin’s Bay and even the beloved Le Petit Train — the series follows Oscar and his faithful dog Toby as they explore the island and meet new friends along the way. Each story is written to inspire awe and wonder, while gently promoting positive values like kindness, courage, care for the environment, and thinking of others.

Being part of Made in Jersey means so much to me, as it connects Oscar’s stories with the wider community and celebrates the island that inspired them. It also means you can now browse my books alongside a beautiful range of locally made crafts, gifts, food, and more, all lovingly created in Jersey.
