My sister and I loved her books when we were little, and they bring back so many childhood memories! I think her illustrations are amazing, they have so much energy, movement and colour. Her drawings of children are so lifelike and this is a skill which i would like to improve. The stories focus on universal childhood experiences, (universal to the ‘english suburban world’ in which they are set) which are relatable to their readers and are able to inspire a sense of adventure.
