Hello, I’m Zoë.
I write books for children.
The Great Oak Tree
The Great Oak Tree is my latest book. I made it with a brilliant artist called Amélie Videlo and the fantastic team at Flying Eye Books .
Discover the enchanting world of nature’s resilience and the unbreakable bonds between a curious blackbird, a wise owl and a steadfast guardian tree in this beautifully illustrated, lyrical picture book.
“A beautifully crafted book that sparks curiosity, inspires wonder and helps young hearts build lasting friendships with trees.”
— Adam Hawker ― artist, author and Woodland Trust Ambassador
How do you do?
I’m a children’s author and general writer person now, but once I was an ice cream seller. I’ve been a journalist and a publicity bod for a big animal charity* too, so I have lots of tales to tell.
I tell stories by writing them down. It suits me better that way. I like to make books about real life and books that come from my imagination. What do you like to write about?
*It’s a big charity for animals, not a charity for big animals. Lots of the animals were actually quite small.
