My First Book

My first book CHEEPS, SQUEAKS, BARKS AND CROAKS OF WISDOM will be published in the next month or so.

It is a book is for anyone and everyone who needs a little lightness and lots of colour in their life. It is for parents, grandparents and any caring adult to read with children to talk about little life messages and to learn a little about our beautiful nature.

This book is a gentle happy place full of my paintings of British animals and birds with their unique characters and messages of life. It is inspired by my work as a nature conservationist, Artist and a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist.

I have included a few facts about each creature as I love gentle learning and looking at the nature around us and I have over many years encouraged others to do the same. I hope that the little messages of life in the book will encourage you to find things that make you and others feel good. I also hope they will make you smile just a little or even a lot.

I am intending to create more books on different themes including the garden, the sea and The Woods in the future.

My first book CHEEPS, SQUEAKS, BARKS AND CROAKS OF WISDOM features Flora the Red Fox Original painting looking up to the stars in the night sky

Flora The Red Fox

Flora lifted her head to the sparkly stars above. And breathe she said to herself. It had been a tumultuous day where lots of things had happened. But the night sky was a beautiful place to sit under and to drink in its spirit of recovery. Tomorrow would be a better day.

Red Foxes Scientific name Vulpes vulpes

Foxes have more than 40 different calls with which they communicate with each other. A group of foxes is called a skulk or a leash. The number of foxes in an area depends on the food available. It is why often many more foxes now live in cities than in the countryside.
