BOOKS TO ENTERTAIN AND ACT AS A LEARNING TOOL
-
Claire James is a qualified social worker who has been working with children of all ages and their families for many years.
She also has a degree in psychology and has used her extensive knowledge to create books which can entertain and also act as a learning tool for all ages.
Last year, Katie and the Brain was released by Pegasus Publishers' Nightingale Books imprint and was a hit with readers young and older.
The book introduces main character Katie and informs the reader about the different parts of the human brain, and how it works with the rest of the body.
Now Claire's second book, Worrying William and his Troublesome Tummy, is due for publication, and she is already working on Mad Mack and the Rage Machine.
Written in a rhyming style, Claire also illustrates the books.
