Jennifer (the author) has a self-confessed ‘busy brain’- one of the many reasons she found herself writing this book. She works as a primary school Teaching Assistant in Lancashire, in the same village where she grew-up (in theory at least!). She still lives there today with her tortoise, a keen escapologist.
Rachel (the illustrator) Inspired by the timeless charm of classic children’s books, Rachel’s illustrations evoke the warmth, wonder, and simple joys of childhood through delicate hand-drawn details, a soft colour palette, and storytelling imagery. Her work reflects a love of nature and the quiet beauty in everyday moments
Sam's pockets are never empty. From shiny buttons to slimy snails, there's always something interesting inside. All summer, he's been out hunting for nature's treasures. His sister calls it junk, but Grandad tells him this collection is magical.
