A collection of my award-winning picture books for children aged 3–7
 
I created these stories because I believe children deserve books that do more than entertain. They deserve stories that sit beside them. Stories that help them understand their feelings, their friendships, and their own inner world.
 
The S.E.C.R.E.T. Story Collection brings together three of my award-winning picture books — stories that have been read in homes, classrooms and libraries, and shared at bedtime again and again.
Each one stands alone. Together, they gently support self-belief, empathy, resilience, creativity and trust — the foundations of my S.E.C.R.E.T. Framework®.
 
Inside the collection
Mousey Mornings
A story about noticing when a friend is struggling, and choosing kindness instead of rushing ahead. Parents often tell me this one opens up conversations about tired mornings, big feelings and how we help one another.
⭐'Simply adorable! Every page is filled with warmth, charm, and the sweetest little details that bring Melvin’s world to life. This book made me smile from start to finish and reminded me that teamwork not only makes things easier but also more fun!' (Dylan, reader)
 
Franco and the Green Light Fairy
A gentle introduction to the idea that our thoughts matter. Through Franco’s journey, children begin to see that even small shifts in perspective can change how a moment feels.
⭐'Let your children's imaginations come alive with this fantastic book which teaches them about patience and having a positive mindset in a fun way!!' (Kirsty, Parent)
 
Felix’s Favourite Day
A playful, rhyming story about imagination, expectations and discovering that joy sometimes looks different from what we first imagined. It is often described as warm, colourful and lovely to read aloud.
⭐'I read it with my four year old who giggled at Felix's initial outrageous pet suggestions and roared with laughter at his final pet choice.' (Helen, parent)
 
Across reviews and messages from families, I regularly hear words like “gentle,” “comforting,” and “a lovely way to talk about feelings.” That makes being an author all worthwhile, because these books are not about teaching lessons loudly. They are about planting small seeds of confidence, kindness, and self-belief.
 
When you choose the full collection, you are giving your child a set of stories that work together. One supports friendship and empathy. One introduces positive thinking and perspective. One celebrates imagination and resilience. Together, they create a rounded foundation for emotional wellbeing in the early years.
 
This bundle supports:
• Recognising and naming feelings
• Building self-belief
• Understanding others
• Navigating small disappointments
• Using imagination in healthy, hopeful ways
If you are looking for stories that grow with your child — stories that feel safe, hopeful and meaningful — this collection was created with that in mind.
 
I hope they become stories your child grows with, and comes back to often.
