A LONG-SERVING teacher at an Ilkeston primary school has written an inspiring children's book in memory of her dad, who worked as a deputy head teacher in the town during a career spanning 40 years.

The book written by Sue Law, who herself has worked at St Thomas' Catholic Academy for 27 years, is called How to Succeed and revolves around three tiny seeds called Knotweed, Poison Ivy and Sunflower.

A competition takes place to see who is the most powerful, with Sunflower showing that true power comes from doing good.

Sue has self-published the book through Amazon after writing it following the death of her dad, Denis Hannon, in July 2022. Denis was also a teacher, having worked in various roles, including deputy head at Saint John Houghton Catholic Academy.
