Emma Atkinson

Hi, I'm Emma. I’m a mum to 2 cheeky monkeys, a wife to a supportive husband and until now an occasional poet and artist. I’ve worked with children for the past 10 plus years and I decided it was time to do something I had always wanted to do - write a children’s book! The writing came a little more naturally than the illustration but having painted when I was younger, I'm so pleased to have picked it back up again and learned a new skill with digital art. It is a privilege to have worked with so many wonderful children over the years who have taught me so much about resilience, relationships and fun and I want to create books that reflect that as well as being meaningful and useful tools for parents. I enjoyed working on Piper's Perfect Christmas Present so much and I have plans for many more books.
