Hey There, Me-Adventure Lover!

The story came from a random made-up bed time story for my kids.  They seemed to like it, even though they were only about 3 years old.

When time allowed the story started to take shape and developed in to the final adventure we have today.

A big thank you to Leanne Coelho, a fantastic children's illustrator who brought the story to life and gave me the confidence that people will want to read this to their children.  I look forward to working with her again in the future!

This book is dedicated to Holly and Rui, their enthusiasm for the story is infectious.

Also to my Aunts Liz and Diane whose legacy has supported this project.

To my younger self...

...who struggled with reading and writing during school, but always enjoyed writing stories; it is never too late to invest in your inner child.

Never stop writing and being creative, it is so important for every person to find that distraction from the world we live in.

Creating stories is so fun and a great way to connect with other people!
