At the beginning of 2019, I began to sketch some pictures.
Anxiety in children.
Oddsocks is born!
Celebrate Difference!
The pictures were my way of making sense of issues, which had affected me since childhood, and which were now, similarly, affecting a close family member.
The drawings gradually became a story: Oddsocks and The Worry Butterfly were born!
Although I have illustrated lots of books by other authors, Oddsocks is the first book I have written as well as illustrated.
Oddsocks is an illustrated story, suitable for a range of ages.

Oddsocks doesn't like to feel different, but a decision to "match" the other children causes something very strange to happen.....
Aspergers in children.
"Oddsocks is about any child with anxiety,
not just a child on the spectrum."
