Susan Hughes

Susan Hughes lives in Derbyshire with her family and two rescue cats. With a background in primary and early years education, Susan loves to write fun and engaging stories for children and grown-ups to share together which make you laugh, smile or maybe even bring a tear to your eye. Susan loves that light bulb moment when young children pick up a book to 'read' for the first time, even if it is upside down! Her debut picture book, Sprout's Surprise, is the first in a series of stories with a special message and was a finalist in The Wishing Shelf Book Awards (2022). Her latest picture book, Sprout's Halloween Surprise, was published in 2023. The ethos behind her stories is that just like Sprout who is small, young children can learn about big issues too.

Susan is currently working on her third book. If you would like to know when this new book is out, please click the Follow button.
