About
Hi, I'm Hannah — a children's author and illustrator based in Yorkshire. Most of my days are spent scribbling story ideas, drawing characters at the kitchen table and turning everyday family moments into picture books children want to read again and again.
My work spans children's books, illustration and publishing, and I love championing other children's authors and illustrators — through Cloudberry & Ink, our small independent Yorkshire publishing house, and ICAN, the Indie Children's Author Network. Getting more books into more little hands is the part I'll never stop caring about.

Books
Warm, playful stories for children and the grown-ups who read with them.
Family can come in many forms, and bonds between brothers and sisters are unbreakable, no matter the distance. Some Brothers & Some Sisters is the perfect book for children with step-siblings, half-siblings, or siblings living in different homes, showcasing that love knows no boundaries. A touching celebration of the unique, diverse, and heart-warming connections that make every family extraordinary.
Perry is trying his best, but things don't always go right the first time. Shoelaces tangle, bikes wobble, and sometimes even the simplest things feel impossible, but with every wobble, tumble, and try-again moment, Perry discovers something important: perseverance means not giving up. Told in playful rhyme and full of heart, Persevering Perry is an encouraging picture book celebrating resilience, determination, and the confidence that comes from trying again. Perfect for little readers learning new skills, Perry's story reminds children that mistakes are part of learning and every small step forward is something to be proud of.
