Lucy Sands

Lucy Sands is a working mum with a degree in Psychology. As someone who always had her nose in a book as a child, her desire to write started from a very young age. After various experiences writing for magazines both here and in Australia, she was hooked on the thrill of seeing her work in print. However it was not until she worked alongside pre-school children in Melbourne that her love of children’s literature was reignited.

While living overseas all things typically English frequently occupied her mind, and with fond childhood memories of her parents' country garden, the stage was set for her animal trilogy ‘Grandma’s Garden Collection’. With a strong belief that rhyming picture books are the most enjoyable and memorable for young children, combined with a genuine passion for writing them, Lucy has gone on to publish ‘HECK! Here’s the Heron!’ – her first of three rhyming picture books in this series.
