Rubery Book Award Childrens, The Rare Monkey Can't, Couldn't, Can!"It’s a lovely book with a valuable lesson demonstrated in a pleasing way"
Book Worm Mummy,"Any children’s book should have the principle target of entertaining its young reader first and foremost, but if that book is able to add a moral to its story, then it becomes the perfect children’s book. The Rare Monkey does both."
Simon A.C. Martin, Writer,"Here is a rare thing indeed: a children’s book with a strong moral message whilst also presenting an artistic and creative flair"

Storytelling, performing, writing, publishing & facilitating
In 2014 I was encouraged to join the Princes Trust Explore Enterprise Program and was inspired to create something from start to finish. I've always had a love for storytelling and have found, through creating my own work, that I've a deep interest in how, through narrative, we can understand more about our own and others experiences and ideas. My aim is grow as a storyteller and to entertain and inspire others along the way. Stay Rare. Jo
