Sea mice and the stars Imagining Things

This began life as a story told in schools. It centres around Chang, a chinese boy whose father makes kites. Chang is given a dragon kite for his birthday but what he really longs for is a real dragon. This is the tale of how he finds one.

It will be launched at Sweet Words in Dunkeld.

The Bearer of Gifts, The Song of the Trees and The Sea Mice and the Stars are all published by Little Tiger Press in London.

They have been translated into French, Dutch, Slovenian, Catelan, Portuguese, Greek, German, Korean and Taiwanese. Editions have appeared in Australia and the United States.

Imagining Things is my first collection of poems for 8-12s, written entirely in my little cabin in Aberfeldy. The collection was commissioned by Lion Hudson in Oxford; in 2005 it was designated one of Scholastic’s Best Books.
