MUMMY NATURE series – nurturing children’s curiosity
Each book in the series is one mini nature lesson wrapped up in colour and rhyme. These books are intended for very young children including toddlers and will give them just a glimpse into some of the wonders of the natural world. Illustrated for maximum vibrancy and visual impact, using rhyme to engage young minds and encourage participation. Read the rhymes to your children and soon they will be reading them to you!
The narrator is a small child and keen observer who tells us in short rhyming phrases everything she thinks we should know, and all about the magical things she sees around her. Sometimes she is camouflaged in the long grass and other times she has to climb a tree to get a better look.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I’ve always been interested in microbiology. For me, this had to be the first book in the series.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The narrator character had to be strong, curious and very enthusiastic. Creating her and redrawing her in all the different situations for the three books was the hardest part about making the series. The bacteria, there are two kinds, the “bad” ones had to be obviously bad but not too scary nor threatening, and the others well, friendly with a bit of personality.
Book Excerpt/Sample
There is a world so tiny,
You can’t see it with just your eyes.
You need to use a microscope,
To see it a bigger size.
