School & nursery readings

I love visiting schools and nurseries to share my stories with children — creating warm, interactive reading sessions that spark curiosity and conversation.

With over 20 years of experience in education, I understand how important it is for story times to feel calm, welcoming and age-appropriate. My readings are designed to help children explore feelings, friendship and everyday skills through gentle storytelling they can relate to.

Sessions can include a reading from one of my books, simple discussion prompts, and time for questions. Whether you are looking for a one-off visit or something linked to a theme such as emotions, outdoor learning or growing independence, I am happy to tailor the session to suit your setting.

I am available for readings in schools and nurseries. If you would like to book a visit or find out more about what I can offer, please get in touch.
