This prompted me to unearth some plays I’d written for a school reading group, and since then I’ve had 20 plays published. Written in a very interesting way to engage young children - Each animal is introduced with a describing word before it and the book has rhyming words in each sentence to capture the reader’s (or listener) attention.She lives in Glasgow and spends a lot of time on stage performing her brilliant sell-out singalong shows!
