New book FOR 2025!

Sarah’s second book is now complete!

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!

To celebrate Pearl Proves A Point, we ran a free workshop for children in Margate where illustrator Helen showed us all how to create characters with different expressions!

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!
