New book FOR MAY 2025!

Sarah’s second book is written and illustrator Helen Desai is busy working on the characters as you read this!

Like ‘101’, the new story, ‘Pearl Proves A Point’, is set in a South London classroom and is based on something that really happened. This time, we meet new teacher MIss G who is altogether more energetic and on the ball than her colleague Mr B from ‘101’.

Some of the pupils from ‘101’ are back alongside a few new characters.

THEY’re back!

This year I was invited to be spend this special day with the Year 5s and 6s of Garlinge Primary School in Margate.

We had an assembly with a read through of ‘101’ an talked about the process of writing and publishing a book. I spent the rest of the day leading workshops on rhyming with the four Year 6 classes using some of the rhymes from my new book ‘Pearl Proves A Point’ so those children were amongst the very first people to see it!

The children worked incredibly hard to produce a group poem in each class in under 45 minutes - top work Year 6s!
