I’m planning talks and workshops

It’s been a labour of love

This story was first conceived through my initial tentative baby steps in making theatre and performance back in 1988! In the 2000s, the ideas became further developed through the creative imaginings and movements of The Little Herberts, the children’s performance art group I co-founded at the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum in Coventry. Recently I have been kindly supported by friends and colleagues who have read drafts and given me invaluable feedback. Thank you!

Almost a year ago a dear friend and former colleague linked me with the wonderful Belfast-based illustrator, Fruzsina Czech. I commissioned her to work on my ideas for the book’s visuals, so we began a journey to bring REDHAIR AND DAFFODIL FRIEND to life. I think you will agree she has done a wonderful job. I am so delighted with the outcome.
