BOOKS

I have had two books published, ‘Doodle Diary of a New Mum’ and ‘Busy Busy’.  ‘Doodle Diary of a new mum’, published by Running Press in 2013, is a collection of captioned drawings that document my first year of motherhood.  The book received widespread media coverage.  Extracts from the book appearing in both print and online.   It became the most viewed article of the week on ‘Buzzfeed’.  Soon after it entered the top 100 books sold worldwide on Amazon.
My animated doodle video diary - ‘Today’s Achievement; Very Nearly Leaving the House’ also went viral.  To view the video please scroll to the bottom of the page
My second book ‘Busy Busy’ (for children 3-5) was published the following year by Creston Books. 
If my Doodle Diary illustrated some of the tougher bits of parenting, Busy Busy hopefully shows why all the effort is worth it.  Prints from both books are available to buy here!
