Qn 2: Who do you think would be interested in this book, is it directed at any particular market?
Preschool teachers and parents with toddlers love my colourful children’s book. The engaging and detailed pictures are so vibrant. Kita and the Magic Paint is a great book to add to any young child’s bookshelf.
Qn 3: Out of all the books in the world, and all the authors, which are your favourite and why?
One of my absolute favourite children’s books is The Balloon Tree by Phoebe Gilman. The intricacy of the illustrations is brilliant. I love how she takes something as simple as a balloon and makes it into something so much more profound. The story itself is a fantastic read. I love that it brings magic and adventure together in a fun and exciting way for younger children.
Qn 4: What guidance would you offer to someone new, or trying to enhance their writing?
I would say to others who want to be better at writing is, just write.
It could be about anything, the bird that was singing to you in the morning, the restlessness of the noisy streets that kept you awake at night. There is so much to write about, and that makes us, as a writer so unique. There is no limitation on what we can create, dream and imagine.
