I am a best-selling writer and illustrator of children’s books, including the multi-million selling TEN LITTLE series, illustrated by SIMON RICKERTY and published by HACHETTE KIDS. Simon and I have produced fifteen titles at the time of writing, including TEN LITTLE BOOKWORMS, created for World Book Day 2019.
The TEN LITTLE books have been made into a TV series for SKY KIDS, animated by KARROT STUDIOS. The show is called TEN LITTLE WHO? And airs in Summer 2025.
The books are available in audio and TONIES formats, read by Dominic Holland.
The most recent book that I wrote and illustrated is MEET THE PENGUINS, published by OUP.
One of the first books I created was LITTLE ROBOTS, which was developed into the much-loved animated TV series of the same name, shown in the UK on CBeebies as well as in more than 70 other countries. I helped to design and develop the project and wrote several of the episodes.
I have had books published by many leading publishers, including Orchard, Hachette Kids, Bloomsbury, Piccadilly Press, MacMillan and OUP.
I am represented by CAROLINE WALSH (Books) and CLARE ISRAEL (Film and TV) at DAVID HIGHAMS ASSOCIATES.
I live in Somerset with my wife. We have three grown-up daughters and a clutch of grandchildren.
