Stories children ask for again and again
Rhyming picture books that help teach social, emotional and practical lessons
Hello, and welcome to my little corner of the internet! I’m Mel, an author-illustrator creating colourful, rhyming picture books for children aged 3 to 6 (or thereabouts).
My stories are built around the things we try to teach our little ones every day, from honesty, kindness and patience, to friendship and forgiveness. Most importantly, they’re proper stories, full of rhythm, rhyme, memorable characters and enough fun and humour to make children ask for them again (and again).
Since launching my debut book, The Wizard’s Assistant, I’ve loved seeing it find its way into homes, schools, nurseries and family events across London. At the heart of Mummy’s Fables is a simple idea: children deserve stories that delight them, and grown-ups deserve books that help start the conversations that matter.
