The Shape of Rainbows. My 12th book – due Jan 2024 - and my first mixed-themed poetry book since 2016. Published by Otter-Barry Books, there is something for everyone here: Peanut Butter Nutter, Police Car, Two Mums, Living Next Door to a Viking and The Day I Ate My School are just a few of the titles you'll find inside it. As always with my books, some of the fifty or so poems are laugh out loud, while others need further reflection. Ages 6-12, £9

Scared? Featuring 50 inventive, insightful poems exploring the darker side. From bullies to black holes, cats to clowns, these original, thought-provoking poems are a roller coaster ride through both the silliness and sadness of being human. From Troika Books, it’s my second collaboration with poetry pal Joshua Seigal. Ages 6-12, £9.

The Universal Zoo (The Conservation Place at the Far End of Space). My newest book containing many funny and a few sad poems about a menagerie of mysterious endangered alien creatures all cared for by the Keeper in this special places, a long way from Earth. Ages 6-12, £8.

When the Bell Goes (A Rapping, Rhyming Trip through Childhood). Another new book jam-crammed with poems about my (and your!) journey through school days and growing up. Plus jokes galore to leave you laughing. Ages 6-12, £9.
