I have fond memories of my first primary school - Rolvenden Primary. I lived happily with my foster mother and her family. Years later, I accompanied my brother and parents to live in Nigeria where I gained two more siblings and a university degree in Linguistics.On returning to England, I studied to become a teacher in the early 1990s after which I taught at schools within the London Boroughs of Southwark and Redbridge. During this season, my fascination for picture books grew like wildfire and from then onwards, I subconsciously knew I would one day write too!I would be most delighted to read your reviews. Do tell me what you think of my work; I drink, eat and sleep on your candid reviews :)Thanks for visiting!Sade27/2/20 ...more
