A nature-story for children, set in the Northumberland countryside!

Deep within the countryside, inside a beautiful walled garden… a collection of dazzling flowers bloom and grow… but what happens when the garden door closes and nobody is watching? Can the plants and flowers learn to grow together nicely, and create the harmony that already exists… in the mysterious ‘meadow beyond the wall’?

A story that is packed with ‘heart’ and inspired by the beautiful walled garden at Wallington Hall, Northumberland. Beautifully illustrated by the artist Rachael Sligo, it is a tribute to the beauty of nature and the inspiration that the natural world can offer.

Nature activities are included, to engage young readers with their surroundings, wherever they may live.

We all need nature!

My Autism Journey started over twenty years ago when I was initially diagnosed with anorexia nervosa and anxiety disorder at fourteen. Statistics show that 1 in 5 females who are diagnosed with anorexia are often undiagnosed autistic. Since having my own children I felt I needed answers about myself, why I had always struggled with my mental health, the impulsive and internal hyperactivity which affected me daily and the difficulties I have with social communication. I had spent over twenty years masking who I really was, my stims. my sensory issues, pleasing others to the point of having a breakdown. Happy Being Me is a series of children's books which tell my own and my children's personal story about living with the conditions, often masking who we really are. I want to help children and adults understand that it is okay to ask for help and that it is more than okay to be themselves.
