Since I had my first child, I have been thinking a lot about children’s fiction. I love reading to my boys and try to do so every day, even when I am really busy. Now my eldest is old enough to read to me, which makes my motherly heart sing.

Over the years I have played around with the format and my son and I have even begun writing stories together. One day I hope to publish some of them but so far you can only read a sample here. My Swedish friend Margit Dudas, who is a painter, illustrator and designer has begun illustrating one of my books. You can find more of her designs at www.zizoo.se
