Twelve Titles, Eight Languages!

Is it really two years since I posted about all my books and their translations into other languages? Gosh! How time flies!

Well, it’s now November 2022 and things have moved on.

Including Livi and the Loo! I now have twelve books available, all of them on Amazon. And there are now French and Spanish versions of the two shark books written for the Shark Guardian Charity.

So, in total, there are six titles in Dutch, five in Italian, four in German, two in French, two in Spanish and one each in Thai and Mongolian. When the twelve English version are included, that’s thirty-three titles!

A big ‘Thank you’ to Pim Hoogeveen, Irene Bernacchi, Nadja Shäfers, Delphine Panizzuti and Alejandra Diaz.

Will there be more on the way?

Ten titles; six languages!

Over the last ten years, I have written and illustrated ten children’s book (number eleven is on the way!) and thanks to the help and enthusiasm of several friends, a number of the titles have now been translated into languages other than English. A big ‘Thank you’ to Pim Hoogeveen, Nadja Shäfers and Irene Bernacchi.

As of this month, there are six titles in Dutch; four in German, three in Italian and one each in Thai and Mongolian. When the ten English versions are included, that’s twenty-five titles!

And there are more on the way in Dutch, German and Italian, while the Shark Guardian charity, for whom the two titles Shark Our Ocean Guardians and Jed’s Big Adventure were written, are keen to have their books in other languages, amongst which could be Arabic!

Meerkat’s Exciting Adventure

Book number ten!!

I’m thrilled to announce that my tenth book was published on Amazon today.

Meerkat’s Exciting Adventure is a fun-filled story all about an adventurous meerkat who loves playing ‘Hide and Seek’ with her friends.

One day she hides in a safari jeep and finds a picnic basket full of delicious treats. She is enjoying a wonderful feast when suddenly the jeep starts to move. It speeds along carrying a terrified Meerkat far away from home.

How will she ever find her way back?

Like all my books, Meerkat’s Exciting Adventure is told in rhyme and is an action-packed tale written for 4-9 year-olds. During her exciting day, Meerkat meets a friendly ostrich, a leopard, a not-so-friendly hyena, a rhinoceros, a hippopotamus and a very helpful giraffe. Once the story is over, readers can learn many fascinating facts about meerkats.

You can buy Meerkat’s Exciting Adventure directly from Amazon or you can order it through your local bookshop. It’s available in paperback and hardback versions.

Jack the Hammerhead!

This brought a HUGE smile at a time when HUGE smiles are so welcome!

Meet 5 year old Jack Childers who LOVES hammerhead sharks! He was planning to be Jed the Hammerhead for book character day at his school. Even though schools were suspended, Jack’s school went ahead with a virtual character day. Such a great idea! Here’s Jack looking TERRIFIC (and not at all scary!) in his fabulous shark costume. Thank you Jack and Sarah for this lovely picture.
