Writing Masculinity in the Later Middle Ages

I am a published artist and author. I studied art at Sir John Cass Art School, London, and am also a qualified teacher. I have taught Early Years practised fine art for many years, and have had exhibitions in the Middle East and in London. I have always been passionate about education, the beauty of nature and the protection of our precious environment. I feel privileged to be able to combine my passion for art, teaching and the environment by writing and illustrating books for children, particularly early years children. I want to help children grow educationally and emotionally and to enjoy the experience of reading and being read to. I try to address environmental issues and children's everyday experiences in growing up and communicating with each other, adults and the world around them. The story of Froggit Froggins shows us the innocence and vulnerability of animals. It addresses issues of conservation, recycling, reusing and reducing waste, and the need to protect our environment and the animals in it. It encourages children to think about how they can help, even though they are small. The story also highlights the importance of friendship, sharing and teamwork. Children are shown that they are never too small to make a difference. For more information go to www.pigeonscratchproductions.com
