When I was 8 years old my teacher at the time said I would be a "late
developer ". I didn't realise quite how late a developer as an author I would be!
The idea came to me to write a children's book after being struck by the
amazing unique markings each zebra has, whilst I was on safari in Africa and
from also exploring difference.
I wrote the story while recovering from surgery to replace both my knees.
I wasn't mobile for a while but still needed to be creative. I believe the book will
be a fun story to read and help children understand it's ok to be different.
