About the Author
I grew up in London, close to Richmond Park - a beautiful deer park big enough to get lost in, where I got to know lots of the characters who have since popped up in my stories. I have always loved writing poetry - I enjoy the sound and rhythm of words, and many of my poems for children have been published in anthologies. My One Week of Poems series of short ebooks covers Christmas, dinosaur, garden, space, football and spooky poems, which are gathered together in the One Week of Poems Box Set. The seventh book in the series, One Week of Seaside Poems, has just been published.When I had my children I started writing stories for picture books, and my first book, Fred and the Little Egg, was published in 2005. Since then I have written lots of stories about animals including rabbits, mules, dragons, hedgehogs, squirrels, mice and a kind-hearted but easily confused fox. I have been lucky enough to work with some wonderful illustrators and my books have been published in many languages. My new picture book, Sweet Dreaming, is a rhyming bedtime book illustrated by Nicole Wong, due to be published by Sourcebooks in autumn 2018.You can find out more on my website: www.juliarawlinson.com
