Me

Hi there

I’m Philippa. I wrote my first children’s book last year, while recovering from kidney cancer. Then the country went into lockdown, so I decided to illustrate it too – with a little help from my four-year-old daughter. I went on to publish Smidge and the Mountain MoOobles in November 2020, and I’m donating 10% of all my royalties to the NHS.

Smidge and the Mountain MoOobles…
Journey beyond a multi-coloured hillside with the MoOobles, and meet Smidge the giant, in this heartwarming tale of bravery, friendship and adventure. Ideal for children aged 3-8 years (though younger ones love the bright colours too).

10% of royalties from the sale of every book go to NHS Charities Together

“I shared this with my primary age class this morning. They were transfixed by the bright colours and the characters, and they loved the rhyming language… Definitely on par with Donaldson and Gravett.”
